DARTFORD FOLK CLUB TURNS 52!! TUESDAY 16 DECEMBER 2025 Phil Beer and his special guest Emily Slade World-class award-winning multi-instrumentalist, singer, arranger and composer Phil Beer is a founder member of the internationally acclaimed folk/acoustic roots pioneers Show of Hands. His own Phil Beer Band is much in demand as are his solo performances. A much sought-after musical collaborator, session player, recording engineer and producer, he is also the boss of his own record label, Chudleigh Roots. Born into a musical household; his dad played the fiddle in local dance bands and his mum played piano, Phil's own performing career kicked off when he was just 16. Given a ukulele by a neighbour, he was playing it by the age of six. He then took up the violin and when his dad also brought a mandolin home, Phil learnt that too. Phil is an extraordinarily intuitive musician who really listens to his fellow performers. His playing lifts and inspires those around him. Well known for having no ego about playing, Phil will not 'hog the solos'. Famously easy-going, "except about performing standards", he's also highly regarded for happily trying anything out! Tonight Phil will be joined by his special guest Emily Slade, one of Britain's foremost fingerstyle guitarists. The partnership between her intricate guitar playing and enchanting vocals are rarely found in one person, making Emily an enthralling performer. She is a woman quite clearly at ease with her audience. 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.
