Folk Club Bonn stopped dead in its tracks again!

"Dear Folk-Friends,
We must inform you that the Folk Club will, unfortunately, be closed in November due to the current Coronavirus regulations of the government which prohibit all music evenings like ours. Hopefully, Corona will soon let us out of its clutches again. We will keep you informed about further developments with information on the blog. Alternatively, If you want to be informed about upcoming meetings by Email with our (under normal circumstances) regular Folk Club information, please contact us (see our Email addresses under "Contact")"

Folk Club wieder gestoppt

Liebe Folk-Freunde,

eigentlich ist diese Nachricht für alle, die die Nachrichten verfolgen, überflüssig. Aber der guten Ordnung halber teilen wir euch mit, dass der Folk Club im November aufgrund der aktuellen Beschlüsse der Regierung ausfällt. Wir hatten im September und Oktober trotz Corona mehrere Veranstaltungen mit erheblichen Vorsichtsvorkehrungen und Einschränkungen organisieren können. Aktuell sind aber Musikabende wie die des Folk Clubs generell untersagt.

Wir hoffen, dass uns Corona bald wieder aus ihren Klauen lässt. Über die weitere Entwicklung halten wir euch mit Informationen auf dem Blog bzw. mit direkten Mails an alle, die uns ihre Adressen gegeben haben, auf dem Laufenden.

Wer mit unseren (unter normalen Umständen) regelmäßigen Folk-Club-Informationen über anstehende Treffen per Mail informiert werden möchte, der nehme mit uns per Mail Kontakt auf (siehe unsere Adressen unter „Contact“)

GO!

 Bonn Folk Club in 2020 has been quite a roller coaster ride. From a stunning 10 Year Anniversary Edition in March, celebrated by having 10 different fiddles, quickly followed by our last indoor edition in April a month later with "Stables" which was then followed by a six-month hiatus, partially self-imposed, with eventually two FCB Lite editions outdoors on the hockey pitch at Dotty's, each only 90 minutes in duration and with no break, to avoid mingling. Then finally, what John Hurd would probably call "the icing on the cake" a Folk Club Bonn On Tour in the Harmonie in Bonn.

Folk Club Bonn “on Tour” Edition!

19:30-22:00 hrs (doors open 18:30 hrs)

"The Harmonie” in Bonn-Endenich has been approved for concerts in accordance with current COVID-19 regulations for numbered and seated audiences of 172 and we are further restricting this to only 130 people. The beauty of the hall at the Harmonie is that it has a very efficient ventilation system, without air-conditioning, which typically re-circulates the old air and just cools it. All the air in the hall is simply and efficiently replaced every 12 minutes.

Admission Free

(This time there will be a raffle in order to cover additional costs involved with the venue.!)

If you wish to attend please send your COVID traceability details in advance to fcbonnlite@gmail.com  in order to avoid delays at the door on the night.

Theme of the evening: Instrumentals and songs for COVID-19
