Become a member for discounted entry!

The Hackney Folk Club is a new music night for London, set up to explore and platform the wealth of folkloric traditions, music, songs, dance and art that exists in the diverse and overlapped traditions and communities of the London’s rich cultural melting pot.

Expect headline acts, floor spots, sessions, singarounds, dances, mummers plays, folk art, talks, walks and all manner of things. The club is based in 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 are a key part of the night, involved in the sessions, sing rounds and floor spots

Members will receive discounted entry to help build a regular crowd and strong community.
