Presenting live acoustic music in Twickenham most Sundays, at Patchworks, The Cabbage Patch pub, 2 minutes from Twickenham Station
TwickFolk has been presenting live music in South West London since January 1983. We are now one of the best-known and most highly respected hosts of live acoustic, folk, blues and Americana in South East England. We aim to book the best quality acts across a broad range of genres – traditional and contemporary music from Britain, Europe and beyond. Doors open at 7.45pm, for music at 8pm. The Cabbage Patch serves a selection of real ales and craft beers alongside everything you’d expect of a pub, including food.
Coming up at TwickFolk:
13 July: Winter Wilson
Kip Winter & Dave Wilson are one of the UK’s hardest working acts, performing often hard-hitting original songs in stunning harmony, interspersed with wicked, self-deprecating humour. They have toured throughout the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, with festival appearances including Cambridge, Shrewsbury, Gate to Southwell, Cropredy, New Forest, Wimborne, Costa Music in Portugal, Warwick, Brugge International Festival of Arts, Bromyard, Derby and many more.
Winter Wilson’s 12th album, Home, was released January 2025. Featuring 12 all-new songs covering subjects from love and loss to good riddance and everything in between, Fatea Magazine called it “a fine addition to an illustrious discography, a very welcome home indeed”.
Live performance is where the duo really excel. Kip and Dave bring a sense of intimacy to every venue, blending superb, often hard-hitting original songs, stunning harmonies and musicianship with sometimes hilarious humour and tales of life on the road. Kip (vocals, accordion, guitar, flute) ”simply has a voice to die for” (John Roffey, Maverick Magazine), while Dave (vocals, guitar and banjo) is among the top tier of British songwriters, with his songs sung in folk clubs across the UK and beyond.… Continue reading. →
20 July: Singaround: Informal, unplugged song circle
As our summer break approaches, we finish the season with another of our popular singaround evenings.
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.
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.
