Potteries Folk Club presents Anthony John Clarke

Described by Fairport Convention as a National Treasure, this singer-songwriter has been an integral part of the UK music scene for 30 years. Originally from Belfast, AJ emerged there with his songs ‘The Broken Years’ and ‘The Only Life Gloria Knows’, but now presents as one of the most humorous and entertaining acts around. Audiences cannot resist the musical invitations to sing from this true gentleman of the music world. Expect a degree of sentiment, but also songs covering topics from the Man From Uncle to Car Boot Sales, Presidents, Karaoke Nights, Nuns, Grandchildren and how to avoid them (he has at least five), Camping, Bigots, and Hitchhiking. This man is perhaps the funniest at serious songs and the most serious about funny songs. Enjoy the ride with AJ and everyone is advised to bring all necessary Medic*tion!

Our venue, as usual, is the The Cafe, Fenton Town Hall, Albert Square, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent, ST4 3FA. You can buy alcoholic and hot and cold drinks in the cafe, as well as cake! Free on-street parking is available. The nearby Council car park is free after 7pm.
