Hambledon Folk Club
What's on
AUGUST - CLUB CLOSED
WEDNESDAY 11th SEPTEMBER
THE SHACKLETON TRIO
A highly original and energetic musical force that combines captivating songwriting, fiery tunes and powerful three part harmonies. The Shackleton Trio are Georgia Shackleton (fiddle, vocals), Aaren Bennett (guitar) and Nic Zuppardi (mandolin). Natural talents of the folk tradition, their self-penned material blends seamlessly with their imaginative yet authentic re-workings of traditional folk standards, influenced by British, American and Scandinavian folk traditions but remaining firmly rooted in the local tradition of the band’s native East Anglia.

WEDNESDAY 9th OCTOBER
COHEN BRAITHWAITE-KILCOYNE
A welcome return of this two-time Radio 2 Folk Award Nominee. Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne is at the forefront of his generation of English folk musicians as both a powerful and commanding singer and a masterful player of the Anglo concertina and melodeon. Cohen burst onto the folk scene in his teens with the energetic and much-loved trio Granny’s Attic and in recent years has pursued a solo career alongside this. His solo repertoire is rooted in the English folk tradition, celebrating the age-old musical heritage of this broad and diverse land. Traditional ballads, songs and tunes form the basis of Cohen’s material, but with a smattering of baroque, renaissance, ragtime, and music hall thrown in for good measure.

WEDNESDAY 13th NOVEMBER
SHEP WOOLLEY
A good friend of the Folk Club since our early days, Shep Woolley has decided to bow out after 50 years of touring and will be appearing at Hambledon in the final gig of his ‘End of the Road Tour’. After serving in the Royal Navy for 16 years, Shep has performed all over the world and made countless TV and radio appearances. Best known for his full-on comedy material in his earlier days, he now performs a wider repertoire and has written many popular maritime songs, including the well-known ‘Down by the Dockyard Wall’.
‘A session of social comment, mixed with a wry look at the comical world around him: he will make you laff !!!’
