Uxbridge Folk Club, Hillingdon [Folk Club]

Details

When you first encounter the Uxbridge Royal Naval Association hut that serves as home for the Uxbridge Folk Club you could be forgiven for thinking that maybe you might not have found the right place. It is located in the middle of a car-park just a 5 minute walk from Hillingdon Station on the London Underground, and its resemblance to a World War II barracks with its anti-aircraft gun standing guard outside looks rather unpromising and a little foreboding. Once you get through the doors though, you find yourself in one of the cosiest and most intimate venues you could imagine. Every square inch of wall is covered with naval memorabilia, and the brass detailing on the many interesting naval accoutrements is polished to within an inch of its life. As you settle into your comfortable seat you will find much to engage your interest while you wait for the acts to commence. On top of that, the well-kept bar has some of the lowest prices in London. Hot and cold snacks are a new innovation!

The music starts at 8 o’clock with a 45 minute set by the support act followed by the first half of the headliner’s set at about 9:00. Sell-out performances before lockdowns happened include the late Julie Felix, the STRAWBS, and big favourites - the Gerry Colvin Band.

We pride ourselves on the eclectic nature of our acts and each month can be very different. We try to put on world-class headliners and encourage up-and-coming acts (such as Donovan in 1960-something!) But we still regale newcomers about the time the club turned down Paul Simon in his early days! (Maybe not our best-ever decision!)

Our monthly floor-spot is in such demand that we can usually only accommodate you if arranged in advance - so please contact us if you are interested. Apart from the occasional ‘special’ we meet on the last Thursday of the month. So come along to 388b Long Lane, Uxbridge and experience a unique venue and a warm welcome from the usual crowd - including the sailor who lurks in the corner, mourning, from inside his coffin, the passing of the rum tot! (Not available in the shops but can still be bought from the RNA bar though, and has to be tried as part of the full Uxbridge Folk Club experience!)

Live music is always charged for.
