One of the best things about spending the winter on Salt Spring Island is the Salt Spring Folk Club. Typically a time of year that we tend to hibernate in our cosy forest homes curled up next to the wood stove, the Folk Club brings us out and brings us together with friends and food an above all incredible music. Once a month from October through March, the Fuford Hall opens its doors to welcome islanders and the few lucky visitors that hear about it to an evening filled with warmth, laughter and amazing tunes! From Folk to the Blues, Celtic Fiddling and Bluegrass, we are treated to it all!
Folk Club evenings begin with the tradition of serving exquisite wholesome dinners and dessert, and a selection of teas, beer and wine are also available to help warm the audience. Once the final morsels are consumed and plates are cleared, the eager fans await the sweet sounds of the evening’s guest musicians. Each show is unique and memorable, in fact last year a show continued through an unexpected power failure – folky and fun!
This month sees the return of Victoria folk legend Colleen Eccleston in a double bill with Salt Spring’s own Tara on Monday, January 30th. Tickets are on sale for $20 At Stuff&Nonsense. See you there!
