ACOUSTIC APRIL!! TUESDAY 14 APRIL 2026 Sound Tradition Sound Tradition is an a cappella folk foursome (David, Linda, Catherine and Moose) singing in glorious harmony. Their varied repertoire ranges from lively chorus songs to lilting ballads, and from medieval times to the modern day, but always with an ear for the English folk tradition. They have proudly supported such luminaries as Martin Carthy, Dave Swarbrick, Chris Wood and Roy Bailey but also enjoy the main stage in their own right. Hailing from East Anglia, Sound Tradition can be found at clubs and festivals across the country - come and join in! Please visit their website to read their individual biographies: The Band TUESDAY 21 APRIL 2026 Culverake Culverake is a new traditional singing trio promising gusto and harmonies a plenty. The trio is made up of Seb Stone, Matt Quinn and Lizzy Hardingham, and together they breathe new life into timeless melodies. Matt Quinn is a singer and instrumentalist but primarily a mandolin and duet concertina player. He is also well known for his skills on the melodeon and as a singer, and is always in demand on the English folk scene. Folk-infused singer songwriter Lizzy Hardingham sings songs that drive straight to the heart, giving audiences a chance for genuine connection and empathy. Paving her way as a powerhouse performer, with her wonderful voice grabbing listeners from the very first note and holding on until the last, just think Christine Collister, Joni Mitchell, Sandy Denny and KT Tunstall all wrapped into one! In short, 'Lizzy has a dazzling combination of voice and songwriting talent that rarely appears.' Seb Stone is a traditional singer, whistle player and uilleann piper from the Peak District. He draws on a varied repertoire of traditional English and Irish songs, focussing on the stories they have to tell, and their relevance to our modern world, singing them with 'understanding, sensitivity & strength'.

PAM & ALAN COLLS
| Founders of the Dartford Folk Club, Pam and Alan Colls ran the Club together for over 40 years, booking an amazing variety of artists within the Folk genre. Sadly both Pam and Alan have passed away but, at our 50th Birthday celebrations in October 2023, the team, guests and audience raised a glass to remember their friendship, achievements and amazing contributions to the music world. The Dartford Folk Club is now managed by a small team of original members in memory of and as a legacy to Pam & Alan's love for music.
