COMING UP IN EARLY JUNE... TUESDAY 02 JUNE 2026 Pete Coe "There's a very good reason why Pete Coe's career has been such a long and successful one: this is a man who never rests on his laurels and who is constantly looking for new angles from which to approach his music. In addition he's an extremely competent singer, musician, arranger, step dancer and a stage performer of rare ability..." John Waltham (Living Tradition) Pete Coe has had more than 50 years of music making on the English folk scene. His contributions include traditional song research and song writing, the founding of several seminal bands plus solo and duo performances, dance calling, recording, and teaching at various levels. Together with his wife Sue, he received the Gold Badge Award from the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) in 2016 for their outstanding contributions to folk dance, music or song. TUESDAY 09 JUNE 2026 Vicki Swan and Jonny Dyer Vicki and Jonny are two of the most versatile musicians of the folk circuit today, a on stage - and now online, the duo are recognised for the high quality of their polished concerts; not only by their charismatic singing and playing but also by their involving, winning presence and easy rapport, their polished delivery that genuinely respects their listeners, and their lively, informed backstories. They have developed an enviable reputation for their ability to reimagine folk and folk dance music; creating sounds that are simultaneously new and progressive, and yet entirely sympathetic to the tradition. They have become deeply involved in folk dance over the last ten years; contra, ceilidh and social dance both as the duo and as Purcell's Polyphonic Party. They often insert performance elements into their dance music. You are very likely to find yourself dancing to a song - and we dare you not to sing the chorus as you go!

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.
