JOHN ARNOULD

Although I am not from a musical background/family and didn't belong to any choirs, I have been playing guitar, writing songs and singing since the age of ten. As well as performing solo, I have been part of the Dartford Folk Massif since 2018, giving me the opportunity to play at a number of venues in Kent and the south east.

After many years of being a regular member at Dartford Folk Club, and performing the occasional floor spot there, in 2021 I was asked to join the team of residents and now enjoy hosting some of the great acts that feature at the Club. I am delighted that Simon Langton, also a member of Dartford Folk Massif, is able to join me in this role.

Some years ago, I wrote the song "We've been singing" for the Club's Birthday and recently I had the opportunity to record it, along with some other self-penned songs, at a recording studio.    You can listen to the song by clicking on the title.    (N.B.
