Everyone Welcome

Everyone is welcome at the Coppull Folk [formerly Alison Arms Folk] singaround at the Alison Arms, every Wednesday from 9pm to midnight. If you play acoustic, sing, dance, recount stories or recite poems you'll get your turn to perform. It isn't compulsory, though. If you just want to come and listen your welcome as long as you applaud until your hands hurt. We meet in a function room just off the main bar (pair of doors to left of bar looking from the front door)
It really is 9pm, hang on someone will turn up, on very rare occasions it will be closer to 9.30pm.
Back to the Alison Arms
For the third time Coppull Folk returns to the Alison Arms, which has been home for the club for most of its life. Singarounds are every Wednesday from 25 November 2009 at 9pm. Any acoustic performance is welcome. Come to play, sing, recite or just to listen.
Goodbye to the Oak Tree
After spending most of the year based in the Oak Tree the club has had to move on as the pub is closing. A big thank you to our hosts at the Oak Tree Jo, Gareth for their hospitality. A particularly thank you for Andy the every cheerful barman who did so much to provide a convivial atmosphere. The next singaround is at 9pm on Wednesday 25 November at the Alison Arms.
Wednesday 14 October
Wednesday 14 October The club sadly lost two of it's stalwart members earlier in the week when Simon and Sandra - who have run the club for a few years - departed these shores for a new life in Nova Scotia. Phil Reagan has stepped into the slot and will be run things. A strong crowd of 12 contributed to the singaround this week. The singaround starts a 9pm every Wednesday night at the Oak Tree.
What does remain is to thank Simon and Sandra for all their hard work and input these past years, keeping the club on track and the website maintained. We want to thank them for everything but also wish them all the very best for the future in their new home and locality.
New Places and New Faces
Since we have moved down to The Oak Tree there have been several visitors from other clubs and our regulars. It has been great to get their support and it looks like we are back on the map as there have also been some new faces over the past two weeks. The new room has an open fire and pies are back on menu late into the evening. But what has given it all a great atmosphere has been the singing. Songs from new places sung by new faces interspersed with the regulars. Looks like we are off to a good start. To all those who have visited, thank you: please come again soon.Â
The Oak Tree
We had a wonderful singaround our first Wednesday (4 March 09) at The Oak Tree. Jo and Gareth were very welcoming as we met in their ground floor function room, the roaring fire was a welcome bonus. Join us any Wednesday from 8.30, to listen or to sing, recite, play, perform as your turn comes up.
