From the outside in the early evening Bonn Folk Club on the first floor of 

BTHV in Dotty's Bar in Dottendorf looks surprisingly innocent, quiet and unassuming.

Inside it's about to become different:

Pardon, did somebody say something?

When is a Guild not an Innung?

When it's a guitar!

Something exciting is about to happen

Ismael de Barcelona & Thomas Mannerjahn

seasoned "old" folk clubber and "Piano Man" Thomas taking the lead 

Ismael in full flight!

Shay McVeigh with the most difficult job of the evening!

Hats off to Shay for singing and playing "Dust" from The Dead Tongues.

Johnny Campbell the evening's featured artist from Yorkshire is a Martin guitar man 

The days when a troubadour's merchandise table only consisted of CDs are long gone, 

Johnny has Zines and artistic Yorkshire tea towels in his Merch' armoury.

It's never too late for a "Früh" Kölsch!

After the break Gerd Schinkel managed something that even Kris Kristofferson 

never managed, a fitting tribute to Kris Kristoffersen's with his songs in German!

Jutta Mensing drew attention to the upcoming gig of Andy Irvine in Bad Honnef on Wednesday 

06.11.24 (well recommended!) before performing Fresenhof accompanied by Mario

Mario performing "Ich hab' Dich Lieb" referring now to an IPAD 

and no longer to old-fashioned paper sheets.

Wolfgang Schriefer from Cologne is developing into the Folk Club's  go-to German language poet.

Wolfgang's always still got a tune or two up his sleeve with "I'm A Blind Man". 

Come to think about it not many people in the Folk Club actually play Deep Purple songs. 

Finally, Jock Stewart rounded off another wonderful evening.
