COMING UP IN MID JUNE... TUESDAY 16 JUNE 2026 Winter Wilson When Mike Harding dubbed Winter Wilson as one of the hardest working duos on the circuit, he'd clearly done his homework. UK based, Kip Winter and Dave Wilson have performed worldwide, releasing a string of critically acclaimed albums, one of the highlights being 'Live & Unconventional', the live album, recorded on tour and at Cropredy Festival with folk rock icons Fairport Convention. It is in live performance where these two really excel. Kip and Dave bring a sense of intimacy to every venue, blending superb, often hard-hitting original songs, stunning harmonies and musicianship with sometimes hilarious humour and tales of life on the road. You will laugh; you may cry. You will certainly want to see them again! We are very grateful to Winter Wilson for stepping in at short notice to entertain us as we wish Steve Ashley a full and speedy recovery. TUESDAY 23 JUNE 2026 Kenny Speirs Kenny Speirs has been a well-known figure on the national and international folk circuit for over twenty five years ever since the John Wright Band burst onto the scene in the early nineties. From his beloved homeland of the Scottish Borders the band propelled Kenny from the pubs and clubs of his local area to some of the biggest festival stages throughout the UK and Europe. Turning professional in 1995, Kenny released seven albums with the JWB, earning a deserved reputation as a sensitive guitarist, singer and arranger, also finding time to release two solo albums to wide critical acclaim. In 2002 Kenny moved on to form Real Time with his partner Judy Dinning of Jez Lowe and the Bad Pennies fame. For the next eleven years they toured extensively until Judy's untimely death in October 2013. The six albums from this intimate collaboration have been the highlight of his career to date. Since losing Judy, Kenny decided to carry on with Real Time, and the band continues to enjoy huge success with Eilidh Grant taking on the main singing duties. Tonight, we are very pleased to welcome Kenny Speirs back to Dartford Folk Club as a solo performer. |

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.
