TOY MUSEUM FOLK CLUB

£10-15

Traditional folk music at the Brighton Toy & Model Museum

– –

The Toy Museum Folk Club is our first foray into the more traditional end of the folk scene. We’ll be bringing some of the most talented musicians on the scene to the intimate arches of Brighton Toy and Model Museum. Join us to watch murder ballads performed beside a sprawling train set, or 18th century dance songs reconstructed under the watchful eye of the museum’s collection of Steiff’s least popular stuffed toys (they have a snail!).

These gigs will feature headline sets by established folk musicians of note, as well as shorter support slots by rising talents. We’ve been very lucky to have renowned author and illustrator Chris Riddell attend several of our events to live draw alongside the performances. These nights contain an extra element of magic, but we make no promise he’ll be there every gig!

Consider this as Folkroom’s take on the traditional folk club. We won’t have floor spots, and you’ll likely never see a raffle, but there will be a warm and welcoming space for folk fans to come together and celebrate the music they love.
