Weekly open session of live traditional folk music and singing at The Stag Inn pub.
Tuesday Folk Nights are back at The Stag Inn on Tuesday 10 November, part of a weekly series of traditional live folk music and singing. It's an open session, which is the key to how the whole thing works: musicians are welcome to join in and play, and listeners are welcome too. If you've got an instrument and a few songs you've been working on, you can step up and be part of the night; if you'd rather just sit back and listen, that's just as valid. The two don't compete—they happen in the same room, and the session runs on both.
The music is traditional folk, so you'll hear the kind of songs that have been passed down through generations rather than a setlist of contemporary releases. Because it's an open session, the songs change from week to week depending on who turns up and what they bring with them. It's a living thing, not a fixed programme, so you'll hear different voices and different instruments every time you go.
The Stag Inn is a cosy, candlelit pub on All Saints' Street, and that's exactly the kind of room this works in. The candlelit atmosphere suits the acoustic, traditional side of things, and the open format means the night is as much about the people in the room as it is about the music. Whether you're there to play or just to listen, you're part of the same evening.
