Havering Folk Club - April 1st 2009 - Andy Roberts

I've been toddling along to Havering Folk Club in Romford, Essex since July this year when I discovered the place upstairs in a 14th century pub right in the centre of Romford. 


The Golden Lion,   2 High St., Romford, RM1 1HR

So now I have a date for my own 'featured members night'  which will be on

Wednesday 1st April 2009

and that means I get to do a full set of songs in two halves, the first time I've done that for a few years so it will give me a good incentive to get more material up to scratch in time for that.

For an idea of the kind of stuff I've been performing as a floor spot artist I've been keeping some records on a blogspot blog over here:   Andy Roberts Music

Hmm ... might just have to visit the aged aunt in Harold Hill!

Glad to see that the music is going well.  Keep up the good work!

  It would be great to see

 

It would be great to see you there Bob, and any other Stormcockers on a Wednesday evening, especially April 1st. 

I was intrigued by an announcement I heard about a festival last summer to celebrate Harold Hill being 60 years old. I thought to myself "that's pretty young for a  hill"    ?!?

Crunched

 

The Golden Lion pub has only gone and declared itself bankrupt.

Closed. Gone. Finished.

So the Havering Folk Club gig will go ahead as scheduled, on or very near to April 1st but at a different venue in Romford to be announced soon.

How can a 14th century pub go bust now? I'm devastated.

Update 1/12009 :

The Havering Folk Club people are a reourceful lot however, and have found a suitable new venue very quickly. This sort of thing seems to happen regularly. There's also news that the Golden Lion has been taken over by new owners and may reopen in late January so there may be a choice of venues for the regular Wednesday night club.

In any case, the April 1st Andy Roberts gig will go ahead at one or the other pubs and has even been added to the schedule on the infrequently updated Havering Folk Club website
