A Crookes Folk Club presentation at The Princess Royal, 43 Slinn Street, Sheffield, S10 1NW.*TICKETING & DOOR POLICY*
Whilst we occasionally run ticketed Friday Night Specials, entry for our regular weekly Thursday club nights is on a first-come-first-served basis and unticketed and we do not take advanced seat bookings.
Entry for regular club nights is free, we pay our guests by way of a *CASH* collection. Whilst we understand that some simply haven't the means to make a contribution and absolutely DO NOT wish to exclude them, we expect those who can to make as generous a donation as they are able in recognition of our guest's work.
*PLEASE CHECK FOR UPDATES BEFORE SETTING OUT*
Life is full of unexpected ups and downs, illness, weather and other unexpected things can spoil the best made plans. We may sometimes have to change our guest at short notice, or even cancel an evening altogether. To avoid disappointment please re-visit the relevant night's event for updates *BEFORE* setting out.
*JIG FOR A KISS
Jig for a Kiss are a multi-instrumental band from Chesterfield playing their own arrangements of music from the folk tradition. With six voices and about twenty instruments, they bring you songs and tunes from England, Scotland, Ireland, France and America – jigs, slip jigs, and reels; schottisches and polkas; slow airs; a hint of Kletzmer, ska, and swing; and songs about love, crime, hardship and beer.
They say they enjoy playing foot-stomping, heart-warming, uplifting music from traditional roots around the world at pub gigs, club gigs, charity gigs, parties and festivals.
They have been playing on the folk scene in and around Chesterfield for about 10 years, venturing as far afield as Stocksbridge, Doncaster, Mansfield, Belper and Matlock. They’ve done a great number of pub gigs and ceilidhs, played on the Sheffield Folk Train, supported Anthony John Clarke & Dave Pegg and Blair Dunlop at the Chesterfield Folk Club, performed at the Chesterfield Canal Festival and warmed up the crowd for the Handlebards.
The band have also performed at festivals: Belper Goes Green; Mansfield Folk Festival, as a headline act on a Saturday evening; and Stainsby, where they rocked the Hat Block tent till midnight on a Friday evening.
