FOLK CLUB

CROWN INN, BOND STREET, NUNEATON, WARWICKSHIRE CV11
4BX
FIRST
WEDNESDAY OF EVERY MONTH.
Nuneaton was until
recently the largest town in the Midlands (pop. 81,900) without a
regular established Folk Club. This new venture brings Folk,Blues and
Acoustic music back into the Town Centre each month. The Crown is a
CAMRA-affiliated pub, adjacent to Nuneaton Railway Station. Nuneaton
Bus Station is opposite and with its central position, taxis are
plentiful and cheap. Evening parking is available (£1, 6am-8am)
nearby.
Offering free WiFi and a
discount to any CAMRA members, The Crown boasts TEN Hand pumps,
dispensing seven real ales and three draught ciders. Guest Ales are
changed weekly.
Nuneaton
Folk Club meets at The Crown each month, in a large upstairs Concert
Room. Featured guests usually take the main spot. Floor spots can
be booked by prior appointment, on a first come, first served basis.
The new club is a joint venture between popular Warwickshire Folk
Band Black Parrot Seaside (who host and compère the venue) and The
Crown's landlord Julian Harkins. After running another celebrated
music venue, “The
Nags Head”,
Julian has since built at The Crown, a nationally recognised
reputation for Live Music of all kinds. In the past this has included
occasional Folk concerts- (Shkayla, Quill and Tir Na Nog have all
played there). Now it's time to bring Folk home for good.
