Subject: folk clubs in/around Salisbury From: GUEST Date: 13 Mar 02 - 01:23 PM In June I#ll be camping in the village of Landford near Salisbury. Does anyone know of a folk club or session in the area, say within 10 - 15 miles? Ta |

While in Salisbury don't miss stopping by the ancient pub called "The Haunch of Venison." I met someone there once who mentioned there was a sessiun every (other?) Sunday in the area, but I forget where... |

Subject: RE: Help: folk clubs in/around Salisbury From: GUEST,dermod in salisbury Date: 14 Mar 02 - 01:08 PM There is a folk musicians open session at lunch time on the first Sunday of the month at the Huntsman pub (used to be superb but I haven't been recently). There is a similar evening session at the Winchester Gate pub on the 2nd Thursday of the month. The Five Bells Inn used to have a singer orientated weekly folk club (I think Friday) and perhaps still does. The Salisbury Arts Centre in a converted medieval church always has something going and often its a folk event. Down river a bit and over the Hampshire border there is a long established weekly folk club on Tuesday evenings in the Elm Tree Inn, Ringwood. Fordingbridge also had a club but I have lost track of it. There may also be events connected with the Salisbury Festival which concludes in the first week of June. The best place to keep in touch with gigs etc is the local Salisbury Journal, and the helpful district council run events web site www.visitsalisbury.co.uk. You should not be short of places to go. The Wiltshire County website (whose address I forget) contains a full list of music clubs with contact numbers. |

Subject: RE: Help: folk clubs in/around Salisbury From: Desdemona Date: 14 Mar 02 - 06:26 PM Ooooh, yes, The Haunch of Venison! Built (or at least started!) at approximately the same time as the cathedral (as were many pubs---lodging & refreshment for the workmen, don't you know!), and oozing with coolness. The best bit: in the snug, behind a grate, ia a mummified hand holding a "hand" of 18th century playing cards! Apparently it was discovered some years back while some work was going on, and the publican decided to feature it as a curiosity! |

Thanks for all the info, Dermod; I will probably stop in for a visit in late June maybe I can make it to some of that festival?
