Fresh after the Christmas break and so early into the new year, with no featured artists and with the

type of January weather that had no one yearning to take a seat on the extensive balcony outdoors,

we were half expecting a somewhat meagre attendance at the first meet in 2020.

Suffice to say, if you didn't come early it was standing room only.

We did have harps galore and many a dulcet tone or two though and.

John Hurd of 3SongsBonn was in attendance too!

Click on the link above to see some magnificent photos and read a wonderful report

of an equally wonderful evening.

If you weren't there and missed it, you only have yourselves to blame!


Thanks again John.

There are many surprises lined up for our 10 year anniversary on the 7th February 2020, so do come along to Folk Club Bonn #110. It has long been suspected and recently even proven, that attending live music concerts is not only balsam for the soul but also actually increases longevity,

- and "folk is great - beer is good - and people are crazy!"

do Award

Dorothee Sträter

aka “Dotty”

Honorary Lifelong Membership in

Folk Club Bonn

with all the Rights and Privileges Pertaining thereto.

including Free Admission to all Performances Taking Place

As we charge no admission at Folk Club Bonn we cannot show our appreciation in mere monetary terms, but there are other ways and means, and in addition to Steve's wonderful certificate and commendation, which you can see above, Dotty also received a copy of John Hurd's book with a wonderful pictorial history of Folk Club Bonn from the very beginning in 2010. Small tokens of our enormous gratitude dear Dotty!

Furthermore, no one in the FCB audience ever died of dehydration or malnutrition during a folk club evening due to Dotty's wonderful supervision and the courtesy and quiet yet most efficient service of her staff who all seemed to understand and love both the music and the craic.

Thanks guys! (and gals!)
