Folk 'n' Fun weekends started in 1984 when a group of folkies from The Black Bull Folk Club in Blaydon took over an outdoor centre near Keswick for the weekend and had a great time. Since then the weekends have continued twice a year, in March and October. So what is a Folk 'n' Fun weekend? A bunch of likeminded people go away for the weekend - drink, sing, play or listen, but generally enjoy themselves with an ample supply of wet stuff to lubricate the throats and musical appendages. People arrive from Friday afternoon with a singaround from 7:30 pm until we are asked to vacate the premises, which is usually quite late (or early depending on how you look at it). There are more singarounds on Saturday afternoon and evening culminating in a final get together on Sunday afternoon. You don't have to stay all weekend, you
can even just drop in at the sessions whenever you like! Great scenery, walking, activities,
singing and craic and NO midges. |
