Live Music

This page lists advertised live music events in the club with named artists.

Also don`t forget our regular events run by the organisers of Wakefield Folk Festival:
🎤 Open Mic night on the last Saturday of each month, and fortnightly jam sessions.
Also Mrs. R`s Retro Roadshow - old fashioned vinyl disco - this is no longer shown on this page as it is now happening at roughly monthly intervals.
These are shown in the Diary page.

If you want to book a gig, or need a room for a practice session, get in touch.
