7 December: Singaround: Informal, unplugged song circle

Our final session of 2025 is another of our popular singaround evenings and, as is our tradition at this time of year, we will be inviting you to donate to homeless charity Crisis.

Expect anything from sea shanties to psychedelia, with a mix of original songs, traditional songs and covers of well known and less known songs. Some performers will take requests on the night. Seasonal songs are welcome but not compulsory.

If you fancy a go at singing in public, then this is the place to start.

If you just want to sit back and listen, that’s also fine. In fact listening, and paying attention to the words and music, is what an evening of folk is all about.

We welcome anyone with a song or a tune to play. Or a poem or a story tell. Expect a warm welcome and a supportive ring of singers and audience.

Non-performers are welcome to come and there is no need to pre-book.

11 January: Emily Maguire + support from Jody Prewett

With seven albums and five books to her name, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer and poet Emily Maguire is truly “a talent to be reckoned with” (RnR Magazine). With a remarkable, inspiring story to tell, she has been featured many times in interviews and playlists on BBC national radio, her thought-provoking lyrics, supremely expressive voice and spellbinding live performances winning her fans across the globe.

Born in London and raised near Cambridge, Emily’s early life was marked by a love for books and music, mastering several instruments despite health setbacks. Diagnosed with acute clinical depression and later fibromyalgia, Emily’s life changed dramatically at a young age, leading her to discover songwriting as a form of expression and healing.

Receiving a guitar at 21 was pivotal; confined by illness, Emily channeled her creativity into songwriting, producing prolifically despite ongoing health battles. Her music, often described as raw and organic, resonates deeply with themes of mental health and personal resilience. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder type I at 23, Emily continued to craft songs that reflected her experiences, eventually going public with her struggles in a candid memoir, “Start Over Again”.
