Veteran New York folk singer STEVE SUFFET has been active on the Big Apple music scene since the 1960s, rubbing shoulders with many of the greats. He is a self-proclaimed ‘Old Fashioned Singer’ with a keen sense of humour & fascination for NY City Districts, which he regularly walks. Expect many famous old-time songs done his way mixed in with more contemporary numbers & some of his own compositions.

For Steve’s 2024 visit to OLC, he will be sharing the bill with friend , legendary folksinger, songwriter & musician JACK WARSHAW. A fellow New York folkie Jack has lived in the UK for many years, working as an architect & teaming up with folk luminaries including Ewan McColl, Peggy Seeger, Rob Sherman & Tom Paley. Jack is best known for his 1976 protest song “If They Come in the Morning,” aka “No Time for Love.” made famous by Christy Moore.

Steve and Marilyn Suffet’s UK trips are inspired by their love of folk music from the British Isles and always include visits to Cecil Sharp House. With this in mind, the lineup is completed with a short set by fine, unaccompanied traditional folk singer Gwyneth Try, whose repertoire reflects her Welsh roots.

We start the evening with floorspots for the 1st 45 minutes, with singers, musicians, poets & spoken word all welcome.

It’s free entry to OLC club members & £1 to others (payable at the bar).

There will be a hat collection for the guests in CASH. The suggested minimum contribution is £7, but please give more if you can afford it.

The CAMRA award-winning club bar (CARD Payments only) will be open from 5.30pm.
