Cymdeithas Cwmdu – first Thursday of every month 7pm/ 7:30pm
Classic Club – second Thursday of every month 8pm
Folk Club – first Friday of the month 8pm
On the first Friday of every month a group of local musicians gather to play and sing folk music. All the Celtic countries, England, and countries throughout Europe are visited during the course of an evening. Although there is a core of regular players, we are joined by a wide variety of welcome visitors who bring their own styles to the session.
By custom, one end of the room is available for those who simply wish to listen.
It may be that this mix of regulars, visitors and audience accounts for the remarkable longevity of the session which dates back to the reopening of the pub nearly 30 years ago. Check the What’s on page for the next session.
Cwmdu Singing – Last Monday of the month 7pm
An informal singing group organised by Clara Clay.
The group is relaxed and welcoming and has no expectations or judgements of prior musical or singing experience. Clara works from the premise that humans have been singing in community for longer than they’ve been telling themselves and each other that they ‘can’t sing’! And that’s not to say that we don’t make a wonderful sound together; she teaches everything by ear in short phrases so there’s space for it to sink in and piece together and before we knows it, against the odds, we do actually sound like we know what we’re doing! So everyone’s welcome who likes the sound of singing, even if you’ve been unhelpfully persuaded for many years that you sound terrible. Every session runs on a pay-what-you-can basis and there’s no obligation to come to every session. We meet in Cwmdu, a mile from the Talley – Llandeilo road, on the last Monday of the month.
