A Crookes Folk Club presentation at The Princess Royal, 43 Slinn Street, Sheffield, S10 1NW.
*TICKETING & DOOR POLICY*
Whilst we occasionally run ticketed Friday Night Specials, entry for our regular weekly Thursday club nights is on a first-come-first-served basis and unticketed and we do not take advanced seat bookings.
Entry for regular club nights is free, we pay our guests by way of a *CASH* collection. Whilst we understand that some simply haven't the means to make a contribution and absolutely DO NOT wish to exclude them, we expect those who can to make as generous a donation as they are able in recognition of our guest's work.
*PLEASE CHECK FOR UPDATES BEFORE SETTING OUT*
Life is full of unexpected ups and downs, illness, weather and other unexpected things can spoil the best made plans. We may sometimes have to change our guest at short notice, or even cancel an evening altogether. To avoid disappointment please re-visit the relevant night's event for updates *BEFORE* setting out.
*ANDY MURDOCH
Andy Murdoch writes and performs his own songs, most of them in a comedic kind of vein. He describes himself as more 'wordy' than 'musiciany', at least as far as his guitar playing is concerned.
"I've played saxophone for the last three decades in various bands, but I've only been trying to sing and play guitar simultaneously for about four years. Think I'm finally getting the hang of it.
"Genre-wise, my stuff is all over the place. Funny Family has a ska feel, Neil, a Rabbit is a jazz ballad, Albuquerque is inspired by Western Swing. I often seem to end up writing about characters, that's one thing that's fairly consistent".
With many open mic and pub gigs under his belt, and appearances at Holmfirth Festival of Folk, Y-Not and Hayfest festivals, Andy has been likened to Jake Thackray. However, according to his 24/7 global marketing team: "Andy doesn’t think he’s anywhere near in the same league as the late, great Yorkshire Chansonnier. But Mr Murdoch is happy to concede that his comedic songs do owe a debt to Jake, amongst other influences".
In 2022 Andy released his debut album "Um-bar-dee '63".. ..no, I've no idea what it means either, but its a great fun album!
