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:
5 January: Singaround: Informal, unplugged song circle
We kick off the new year 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.

A firm favourite here at TwickFolk, we are delighted to welcome back Luke Jackson as our first guest act of 2025.
Blessed with a distinctive, bluesy, soulful voice, Luke has developed an enviable reputation on the roots, acoustic, folk and Americana circuits by virtue of his acclaimed recordings and dynamic live performances. This appearance at TwickFolk is likely to see him showcasing songs from his 7th studio album, Bloom, which is set for release in November 2024.
In addition to the new album, the past year has seen Luke tour extensively across the UK and once again support the legendary Jools Holland. Other career highlights have included playing the Costa Del Folk Festival in Portugal, solo tours of the USA, two weeks songwriting and performing in Nashville, and support slots for Fairport Convention and Richard Thompson.
Luke’s appearance at TwickFolk is always a popular ticket so early booking is advised.
