FOLKIE FEBRUARY!! TUESDAY 17 FEBRUARY 2026 Harbottle & Jonas Partners in life and in music, dynamic Devon-based folk duo Harbottle & Jonas are one of the most exciting acts on the UK circuit today combining a love of the richness of traditional folk with their own original and powerful songwriting. Dave Harbottle and Freya Jonas have developed a distinct and compelling signature sound, blending concertina, harmonium, banjo, stomp box, acoustic guitar and cittern with their beautiful and closely intertwined vocal harmonies. Subject matter covers the historical as well as the more personal, with their engaging live shows full of stories as well as beautiful songs. People, places and events are brought to life through their intimate, timeless music. TUESDAY 24 FEBRUARY 2026 Dick Miles Dick Miles writes, "I have been singing and playing music since I was 13. My special love and interest is traditional music and the concertina. I lived for many years in Suffolk, East Anglia and some of my favourite songs are based on the superb traditional tales of this region. Now, I am living in the South-West of Ireland and am incorporating, more and more, the local traditional music style into my own." "For over thirty years I have been singing at maritime festivals, folk festivals and clubs all over the British & Irish Islands. I have written two concertina tutors, one of which is on song accompaniment. In more recent years I have turned my hand to song-writing, particularly songs of the sea, such as 'The Sailor's Dream', the title of my new songbook."

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.
