Scanlon's Folk Nights

The Nelthorpe Arms, Bridge Street, Brigg, North Lincolnshire

Second Wednesday of every month

This is folk the way it used to be. Admission is free, and there's no raffle and no booked acts, just a room full of people singing and playing for the pure joy of it. Which is exactly what you would expect from the town where Percy Grainger collected so many of our great songs just over a hundred years ago.

Regular performers include members of The Stubblejumpers Ceilidh Band, Clarty Sough and The Roaring Forties and the club is the home of Coleby Plough Jag. Visiting performers and listeners are always welcome, we operate a simple singaround system so just find a seat buy a pint and wait until it gets round to you. Any form of folk music or song is welcome, be it traditional or contemporary, but as you might assume from the list of regulars there is a leaning toward traditional song.. Start time is 8.30 for 9.00 and we run right through the year with no break for summer holidays.

The Nelthorpe Arms is a traditional "market town" pub just off the town centre with its own car park. Beers include hand pulled Mansfield and Jennings, together with Guinness and lagers, coffee and soft drinks. It's been our home since 1990
