Dunfermline Folk Club Events
8.00pm START EVERY WEDNESDAY
Please note that the programme may change due to circumstances outwith our control - especially while the Coronavirus precautions are in place and also for events several months in the future. Please check again before joining us to enjoy your Wednesday evenings.
Our events - guest and session nights - are currently online. It is unclear when we will be able to have a club gathering, how we can maintain precautions and social distancing and what numbers will be allowed at events in future. ... but keep in touch by joining us at the sessions and other events.
If you want to be sent a copy of our newsletter with updates, please contact secretary.dunfermlinefolkclub@gmail.com and we will keep you updated.

19 Chloe Matharu is a talented singer songwriter and Celtic Harpist in Inverclyde and will do a Facebook livestream for us. Many of her songs draw on her experience as a Navigational Officer in the Merchant Navy sailing around the world on oil tankers. Her thoughtful and sensitive songwriting offers an insight into the modern seafarer's life. Chloe's voice, coupled with her harp playing, form a haunting combination perfectly suited to the reflective nature of her material. Of Scottish, Welsh and Punjabi heritage Chloe sings in both English and Welsh. https://chloematharu.co.uk/
