Stay Safe Folkies

Updated: 21 March 2020

Wishing everyone well in these extremely unusual and difficult times. We will be back out and about singing and have The Welly Folk Club back up and singing, as soon as it is safe to do so. In the meantime, support your favourite performers where/when you can during these hard times; and, please take care of yourselves, we will see you for a bit sing down the road, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Thanks to the wonderful Si Khan for this beautiful song
