***     TUESDAY 2ND APRIL 2024   ***

when we welcome:    Johnny Campbell     to Dartford Folk Club

Johnny Campbell is passionate about the songs and stories of northern England. Taking inspiration from traditional material, as well as penning new songs of his own,
he explores what it means to be human today, as well as looking back at our history. His first album, From Hull & Halifax & Hell, took him even further north
as he headed to the Faroe Islands to record it live on the island of Nolsoy. This was followed by three singles:   Hard Times of Old England, Winter Hill Trespass
and A Right to Roam, the latter of which was chosen by Tradfolk as one of the best folk songs of 2022.
This year sees Campbell releasing True North, an album of traditional northern folk songs recorded on their respective county summits. From Northumberland and Durham,
to Lancashire and Merseyside, Campbell has travelled the length and breadth of the north of England to collect these recordings on or close to the summit of each spot.

Through these songs, Campbell explores the symbiotic connections between the land, the music, the stories and the history that has shaped northern identity
from chartism and co-operatives, to the Labour movement. The landscapes of the north are inextricably linked with our social history. The hills and streams that powered
the Industrial Revolution in turn played a key role in social hierarchy and even the transatlantic slave trade.



Doors Open at 7.15pm with the evening starting at 8pm.
NO RESERVED SEATING! Please do come early if you are planning to sit with a large group of friends.

PAM & ALAN COLLS

Founders of the Dartford Folk Club, Pam and Alan Colls ran the Club together for over 40 years, booking an amazing variety of artists within the Folk genre.
Sadly both Pam and Alan have passed away but, at our 50th Birthday celebrations in October 2023, the team, guests and audience raised a glass
to remember their friendship, achievements and amazing contributions to the music world.

The Dartford Folk Club is now managed by a small team of original members in memory of and as a legacy to Pam & Alan's love for music.
