  • Hello all. Just a line to say what a wonderful night we had at your club on Saturday. You certainly have a brilliant atmosphere, and as hosts you could not have been any kinder. We were made to feel very welcome by all, and enjoyed all of the floor spots. The icing on the cake was of course the performance by Claire Mann and Aaron Jones. Also great to see Tom McConville again. We will see you again some time although the trip from Bromsgrove is a bit on the long side (240 miles ). Regards,    Neil & Yvonne Payne. (Bromsgrove Folk Club.)

I love the club and would like to visit it more often. It has a wonderful selection of musicans that make the place what it is!

Hi,
Back in my University days in the 70’s, I came across an album of songs by various artists and I wondered whether you could give me any information on any recordings that the club may have put out.
Regards,

Martin Mel

Hello Martin
Do you mean a vinyl album from the 70's?
If so, the club  members made an album called 'Songs from Washington's Davy Lamp Folk Club' in 1976.
It featured Frank O'Neill, Don Day, Barrie Dipper, Bob Fox and me and my husband Eric.
There were only 500 copies made and I understand it's something of a collectors item now.  I presume you don't still have your copy!  The picture on the front was a caricature of all of us as 'pitfolk', drawn by the now famous North East artist, Bob Olley.

What a grand evening! Thank yo both so much for your welcome, the seats and kindness in giving me a bit extra time.  We enjoyed Jez so much it was well worth the trip to hear the band in a special setting...
(I hope it won't be another four and a half years before we visit you again.)
Kind regards

Hello.
Please can you advise if there are any tickets available for the Martin Simpson concert on 2.6.07. If so, can I obtain them online?
Christine Haigh

Hi Christine,
We never do tickets in advance, so it's pay at the door -first come, first served.
If you're travelling any distance, however, please ring me on 0191 4166999 and let me know.  I'm sure we'll be able to ensure you a space.

D
ear Terri-
Sandy and I were thrilled to visit the club on June 9 and to see both 
the "regulars" and Dick Gaughan, all in the same evening. The music, 
and the hospitality were wonderful.  I work as a volunteer with the 
Godfrey Daniels Folk Club here in Bethlehem and we saw Dick perform 
there back in 1995.....seeing him again was a real treat.
This was our first ever visit to the Northeast....my great 
grandfather Robert had emigrated from the Ryhope area in 1869 to work 
in the anthracite coal mines of Northeastern Pennsylvania near 
Plymouth/Wilkes Barre/Wyoming. It was a wonderful visit all around.

Keep the music playing......and thanks again for your kindness.  Hope 
to return one day.
very truly,
Gar & Sandy Davidson

Dear Terri,

You may remember my making your aquaintance on our last visit to the 'Davy' last year, having relocated to the Conwy area of N.Wales.  I recall mentioning the Conwy Folk Club and perhaps wishing it was like the 'Davy' and my wife was lucky enough to be given a guest spot.
A great night,thanks for your wonderful hospitality


Best Regards,
Craig at Conwy

Hi,   We're hoping to pay a visit to the club to see Emily Smith on Feb 23. Do we need to get tickets in advance, reserve them or will they be available on the door?
Cheers 
Alan Wright

Hi Alan,
No we don't do tickets at the Davy Lamp - it's just pay at the door.
However, if you're travelling any distance, just give us a ring on 0191 4166999 and we'll make sure we fit you in on the night.
