MUSICAL MARCH and ACOUSTIC APRIL!!


TUESDAY 31 MARCH 2026

Simply Dylan

No frills, no gimmicks, no pretence SIMPLY DYLAN is John O'Connell's personal exploration and celebration of the rich and diverse work of Bob Dylan.
John O'Connell, a rare talent who has had his name indelibly written in to the tapestry of Liverpool's music scene, has collaborated
with other highly reputable musicians from the city to form his Dylan Band.

It is their precise playing and high energy renditions of Dylan's work from the 1970s onwards which has gathered momentum and generated incredible interest.
From a modest project recognising Dylan's 70th Birthday in 2011 Simply Dylan has gone from selling out the Cavern Club 6 times, to receiving fantastic reviews
from the Spanish Press, to impressing Dylan fans from across the UK on their Tours with SJM Concerts, to opening up the IOW Festival 2019 performing on the Big Top Stage.

No ordinary interpretation, this is a remarkable and exceptional project which promises to delight Dylan fans young and old
and to ignite a new wave of passion for one of the world's most prodigious songwriters.

Katie Grace Harris & Andy Nice

Katie Grace Harris is a multi-tasking, foot tapping, piano, dulcimer and accordion playing singer and story-weaver. Inspired by real stories of social injustice
and with a fast-growing reputation in the UK Folk world, her sound has been described as 'boot-thumping, heart-filling acoustic/folk music'.

'Does your life not just feel better after listening to a little bit of Katie Grace Harris?'    -    Patrick Kielty - BBC 5 Live

'Integrity pours out of her performance and her as a person.    -    Reg Meuross

'Beautifully written... tightly observed songs and stories about real people and places.    -    Fatea Magazine

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.
