Become a member for discounted entry!
The Hackney Folk Club is a New Music Night for London, based in Hackney, set up to explore, promote, and platform the wealth of folkloric traditions, music, songs and arts present in our city amongst the myriad of communities and cultures here - out of the rich cultural melting pot of London come old songs, tales and tunes that have drifted over the waves of our ancestor’s migratory past, gathered and cherished anew in the present.
Expect Headline Acts, Floorspots, Sessions, Singarounds, Mummers Plays, Folk Art, Talks, Walks and all manner of things. The Club is based at the legendary community arts venue Chats Palace, itself having a pivotal and important role in subversive and counter-cultural scenes over the decades.
Join The Club!
The Hackney Folk Club is hosted at Chats Palace by Joe Buirski, Lileth Chinn, Jess Collins and Adam Beattie. We look forward to welcoming you.
Our aim is to cultivate and build up an inclusive, participatory and all ages folk club at Chats Palace, where all are welcome. We aim to build it into a true "club", where members have a say and participate in the night through Open Mics, Floorspots and in sessions - these will happen on every night held at Chats. Members will receive discounted entry
