Folk Club with Morag Butler and Luke Wallace (Concert)

Hosted by Morag Butler of Rossyln Court Margate, is a mix of floor spots, special guests and a Q&A at the end. If you’re new to the Folk Club format – a floor spot is similar to an ‘open mic’ -without the microphone. All performances are acoustic and audiences are very encouraging and supportive. Leave a note for Morag at the Sailing Club if you would like to take part. You don’t have to be a member.
