Folk Club Bonn # 149 Friday 06.09.24

 Dear Folk Club friends,

the summer break is over and the Folk Club year is picking up speed again. On Friday, 06 September 2024 there will be the 149th edition of the Folk Club.

The theme of the evening is ‘Friendship’.

Two groups have announced themselves as featured artists on Friday:

The duo ‘Grün und Huth’ alias Ursula Hoffmann (Grün) and Stephanie Huthmacher (Huth) are talented multi-instrumentalists with guitar, piano, melodica, mandolin, ukulele and harmonica and the most important instrument of all, the human voice. The two were already guests at the Folk Club in January of this year and caused a storm of enthusiasm with their original, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes ironic and always humorous songs about the really important things in life.

‘Fomiander’ stands for folk, medieval and other beautiful songs. They are a formidable five-piece ensemble from further up the Rhine with a varied and exciting programme and have been guests at the Folk Club several times with a changing line-up.

As always, there will also be numerous performances by local artists.

Let yourself be surprised again and enjoy the evening!

Here is a summary of the most important dates:

Date: 06 September 2024

Start: 7.00 pm until probably 10.00 pm. The hall is open from 5.00 pm and offers the opportunity to enjoy a cosy meal and drink before the concert. If you arrive early, you can also sit in the front row.

Venue: Dotty's Sports Bar and Restaurant (public clubhouse of the Bonn Tennis and Hockey Club - BTHV), Christian-Miesen-Straße, 53129 Bonn (Dottendorf)

A folk club evening is never "umsonst" but admission is free as always
