Tuesday Evening Summer Garden Gigs featuring a set from the superb BORDER CROSSING, a duo combining the talents of Dean Tainio & John Matthews. It’s not to be missed!!

John Matthews is an ex-pat Scot & long-time Kent resident. A fine unaccompanied singer in the folk tradition.

Dean Tainio, another established Kent folk musician with roots just south of the Scottish border, adds his voice & accomplished guitar playing.

The sum total is a succession of delightful arrangements of traditional & contemporary folk songs with plenty of opportunities to join in with the choruses.

We start with floorspots at 7 p.m. Singers, musicians, and poets are welcome. If you’d like to do a turn, please come early and flag up your intentions on arrival to avoid disappointment.

There’ll be a small PA with mics & leads for plug-in & play.

The hat collection is in CASH for the guests, with a suggested contribution of £6 per head minimum. Please give more if you can afford it. It all goes to the guests, who are a class act.

The CAMRA award-winning bar will be open from 18.15 on Its CARD payments only.

It’s Free entry to the premises for OLC Club members, with Non-Members paying £1.

In the Garden, we must finish by 9 to comply with the club’s licensing conditions. If it’s necessary to move the event into the hall due to poor weather, we will start a little later & may continue until around 10.
