SUMMARY:Severn Folk Club - September 2026 (Lauren South)
DESCRIPTION:Severn Folk Club’s first guest night (ever!) features Lauren South\, an incredible songwriter and multi-instrumentalist and one half of duo Donnelly and South.

Lauren is also running a “Scratch Fiddle” workshop in the afternoon for anyone who would like to have a go at playing the Fiddle (no experience necessary and instruments will be provided). If you buy a ticket for both the workshop and the concert together\, you will receive a discount (applied at checkout. Members get their discount on top of this but again will need to buy their ticket via the member’s booking form or on a club night).

The club has a small carpark and drinks are available from the bar. All ages are welcome but under 16s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. \nBio and Reviews: \nResiding in Warwickshire\, Lauren South is an accomplished singer\, songwriter\, and multi-instrumentalist renowned for her original compositions and traditional melodies. With the accompaniment of tenor guitar\, fiddle\, and shruti box\, her songs exude heartfelt emotion and vivid imagery\, drawing inspiration from her passion for the nocturnal heavens\, the natural world\, and her journey through motherhood. Lauren’s debut solo album\, Tiny Boat\, was released in November 2023 to critical acclaim\, with tracks featuring on FATEA’s Spring Showcase 2024\, BBC Lincolnshire and Shropshire folk shows\, and BBC Introducing. \nBeyond her solo endeavours\, Lauren is an enthusiastic collaborator and is often found playing alongside John Parker (double bass) and Keith Donnelly (guitar). \nLauren is also a regular performer on the UK folk circuit and has been playing folk festival main stages since 2019. \n‘I love Lauren’s voice! It has a distinctive and unique beauty that allows her to turn every word she sings into a kind of magic formula.’ – Reg Meuross\n \n‘Enthralling\, intricate\, pure crystal vocal lines… some of the most beautifully melodic vocal lines I’ve heard.’ – The Woodman Folk Club\n \n“Lauren’s singing is world class; unashamedly talented and virtuosic but never out of reach nor suffering from excessive ornamentation. Humble\, honest\, powerful\, intriguing and mesmerising.”  – Adam Beresford-Browne\, Nuneaton Folk Club

SUMMARY:Severn Folk Club - December 2026 (Benji Kirkpatrick)
DESCRIPTION:‘Tis the season to be Folky! Come and celebrate Severn Folk Club’s final club night of 2026 in style with our guest artist\, Bouzouki legend and fellow Salopian Benji Kirkpatrick. As well as Benji’s performance\, there will also be support from a local floor performer and the resident “Reabrook B Band”\, as well as the usual Folky shenanigans that regulars to the club have come to expect! \n  \nIn the afternoon\, Benji will be running a Bouzouki workshop for intermediate players. The workshop is £25 per person\, you can find out more and book your place here \n  \nMembers will need to buy their ticket via the member’s booking form or on a club night to receive their discount for their concert and/or workshop tickets. \n  \nThe venue is the Reabrook Club in Shrewsbury (opposite Cineworld). The club has a small carpark and drinks are available from the bar. All ages are welcome but under 16s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. \n  \nAbout The Artist \nBenji Kirkpatrick is a singer\, songwriter and musician. A “fretboard wizard” (Time Out) of multiple stringed instruments – bouzouki\, guitar\, banjo\, mandolin – he has been performing solo for over 25 years. As a key founder member of folk big band\, Bellowhead\, Benji has enjoyed playing in front of large festival audiences as well appearances on the likes of Later… with Jools Holland. His latest solo album In Phase\, released in autumn 2023\, features all original songs written between 2020 and 2022. Lauded releases such as ‘Boomerang’ (2008) and ‘Hendrix Songs’ (2015) – an album of acoustic re-interpretations of the work of Jimi Hendrix – have punctuated his exploits over the years alongside extensive work with others. 2019 saw the release of ‘Gold Has Worn Away’ on German based label Westpark Music\, the only release from Benji’s then band ‘Benji Kirkpatrick & The Excess’; a roots-based power trio comprising of Pete Thomas (Jackie Oates\, Megan Henwood) on bass and Joelle Barker (Edwin Starr band\, Del Camino) on drums. Pete Flood\, also of Bellowhead\, occupied the drum seat until 2022. \n  \nBenji was head hunted by folk rock pioneers\, Steeleye Span in 2017 (40 years after his dad\, John\, was in the band) and was a member until 2021\, featuring on 50th anniversary album ‘Est’d. 1969’. He was one third of ‘bloke folk’ trio\, ‘Faustus’\, along with Paul Sartin and Saul Rose\, whose hard-hitting brand of English folk hammered it’s mark onto the scene until the untimely and tragic death of Paul in 2022. \nBenji is a long-term collaborator with Seth Lakeman\, featuring on the successful releases ‘Kitty Jay’\, ‘Freedom Fields’\, ‘Make Your Mark’ and latest release ‘The Granite Way’ and tours with Seth regularly. \n  \nBenji has also worked with Oysterband\, was a part of the 2017 revival production of Peter Bellamy’s ‘folk opera’\, The Transports\, alongside The Young ‘Uns\, Nancy Kerr\, Greg Russell and Matthew Crampton\, and featured in The Lady: An homage… to Sandy Denny\, a 2012 nationwide tour also featuring Maddy Prior\, Thea Gilmore\, Dave Swarbrick\, Joan as Policewoman\, Lavinia Blackwall and PP Arnold. \n  \nHe has also done other things… and is as happy in small grassroots venues as in front of a thousands strong crowd.
