MUSICAL MAY!! TUESDAY 19 MAY 2026 Louise and Chris Rogan Louise and Chris Rogan are an award winning daughter and father Folk Duo. Whether in the intimate surroundings of a Folk Club or the grand setting of a Festival's main stage, Louise and Chris have a "relaxed and engaging manner" with their audiences and are regularly invited back - the greatest of all compliments. Described as having a "pure and soaring voice", Louise is a singer of the highest quality. Audiences enjoy their arrangements of traditional favourites as well as their self-penned songs. In 2023, Louise and Chris won the Audience Vote of the Great British Folk Festival. In March 2023, Louise was invited to join McCusker, McGoldrick and Doyle as part of their UK Tour at The Waterside, Sale and The Crescent, York. In January 2024, they headlined the UK West Coast Folk Festival replacing an unavailable Cara Dillon and were followed onstage by Richard Thompson. They were also selected to play on the Danny Kyle Open Stage at Celtic Connections. In 2025, Louise and Chris headlined at the Costa Festival Ibiza. TUESDAY 26 MAY 2026 Christopher Crompton Christopher Crompton is a singer-songwriter, musician, writer and poet from the West Midlands of England. His work is created from a diverse palette of influences that cross genres and cultures. His distinctive voice and guitar playing draw these threads together into a unique sound and presentation. The subjects he addresses are equally heterogeneous, from the personal to the political, from the Stoic to the spiritual, from the everyday to the extraordinary. In every corner of experience, Christopher seeks the sensibilities that render the individual universal. Christopher's words and music set out to make you feel something. They challenge but carry compassion. They empathise, lament, celebrate and encourage. For further information, please E-mail: dartfordfolkclub@gmail.com |

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.
