Folk at the Barlow is a not-for-profit organisation. Our aim is to encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy and participate in folk music and song. Both the folk club and the Festival are run by unpaid volunteers. There is a singaround on the first Friday of each month and a concert on the third Friday of each month.

Concert tickets are £12.50 each.  Children's tickets (16 and under) are free and students 21 and under are half price. The Barlow is a fabulous venue with a great stage which has  state-of-the art sound and lighting. There is a separate bar serving local ale etc.

Great favourites at Folk at the Barlow, welcome back to Drop the Floor, a band comprising three Lancashire lads and a Scotsman playing mostly traditional celtic music. Drop The Floor are a vocal and instrumental group based in Clitheroe. Firmly routed in the traditional music and songs of Ireland but also taking from Scotland, Lancashire and America, the band features Steven Johnston on Uilleann Pipes, Martin Baptie on Fiddle, Richard Moss on Guitar and Vocals and Daniel Burke on Tenor Banjo. Expect great energy and a feel-good atmosphere as they fill our hall with wonderfull vibrant music. All are  top-class musicians and they make it look easy, which it isn't! Lead singer Richard Moss, who will perhaps throw in some Lancashire songs just for us, was here last year in his duo with Claire Douglas.

Supporting Drop the Floor will be Lakeland trio Eskrigg.. Dan, Sam and Anj sing traditional (and modern) folk songs in three part harmony. In May 2019 they won the acoustic performers competition at the Upton-Upon-Severn Folk Festival and they have been going from strength to strength ever since. They are also the cornerstones of  a most hilarious mummers play by Crook Morris
