Description

Who are the ELFS?

We’re a group of people, mainly from the village of East Leake, who got together in January 2010 because we all enjoy playing and singing traditional music. We’re a very informal bunch who expect that our Folk Nights will evolve and grow according to the needs and expectations of those who participate. We meet every other Tuesday evening at The Bull's Head, Main Street, East Leake. Anyone interested in coming along, please email J.Harthan@ntlworld.com and ask for date of next meet.

Open Mic Sessions

The Folk Club was formed so that amateur musicians could get together and play music in an informal, stress-free environment. Since our inception all of the members have increased in confidence and proficiency and it's now been decided that we'll introduce "open mic" sessions so that those who wish to play solo/duo will have the opportunity to do so. The open mic (without a microphone!) will run from 9-9.30pm and again from 10.30-11pm. All are welcome to come along and perform, please just introduce yourself and collect a performance ticket from Joan. In between these times we will all be jamming together as usual.

We Need YOUR Help

Some of our members got together at the beginning of 2011 to write, produce and perform a show called "Wot the Folk". The show includes twenty of some of the best loved, and best known, folk songs and is accompanied by a narrative that describes the development of folk music around the British Isles. Written by Joan Harthan and Bill Sowerbutts, all proceeds go to Cancer Research UK. We're currently looking for more local venues where we can perform our show and raise more money. Village halls, private rooms in public houses or theatres would be ideal. If anyone can offer such a venue at no cost, please get in touch via the email above
