Dateline ...
Friday 1 May 2020
EDINBURGH FOLK CLUB has cancelled all gigs
until the end of the current
season because of the
coronavirus lockdown.
We hope to reopen on
Wednesday 30 September
2020 with Colum Sands
as the guest performer.
ACCESSIBILITY at the Ukrainian Community Centre
Edinburgh FC's weekly gigs take place on the ground floor of the Ukrainian Community Centre.
This means that wheel chair access is good.
There are three steps up from the pavement on to the 'runway' to the main door and then one further step up at that door (see pic right of front door to UCC).
There is a ramp to assist in getting wheel chairs from the pavement into the building.
Once inside everything is flat - no more steps.
The door into the room has a wee rise to negotiate but it's only about 2 cm.
There is one wheelchair enabled toilet towards the rear of the ground floor.
If you need any further information please give us a call (07968 131737) or click here to email or here (EFC secretary).
Now in its 46th season (2019-2020), the EDINBURGH FOLK CLUB meets every Wednesday (summer and xmas breaks excepted) and starts promptly at 8.00pm with an opening act, maybe two, followed by the headliner's first set.
After an interval there is usually a song from one of our residents, followed by a short set from the opening act, the raffle(!), and the headliner's second set. We aim to finish around 10.45pm or thereabouts.Tickets are available in advance for each event by clicking on the on-line box office links in the list of shows above.
You can usually get a ticket at the door from 7.30pm on the night (subject to availability)
However be warned that we do sometimes sell out so always buy tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for updates on sold-out shows or cancellations due to weather.
In general ticket prices are ...
£10.00 (general/non-members)
£9.00 (usual concessions)
£7.00 (EFC members and any card carrying member of any folk club elsewhere in the world)
£5.00 (Any matriculated student from any college or university anywhere in the world.)
Some events may have special (usually more expensive) pricing (*) and if so we indicate that.
WEEKLY EFC EVENTS
In the list of gigs below, click on each performer's name for info about them and to go to the on-line box office to buy advance tickets. We try to provide advance tickets up to (approximately) two months ahead so if you find a box office link unavailable here it just means we haven't got round to that gig yet. You could, however, go directly to our on-line box office here to see if the show is on sale there.
We always recommend buying in advance since, if a show sells out (and they do), we cannot push the walls of the venue back to accommodate extra seats!
The Carrying Stream Festival is now well-past (Friday 8 to Sunday 10 November 2019) so put next year's event dates in your diary Friday 6 to Sunday 8 November 2020.
If you were able to get to the shows in this year's festival we'd love to hear from you (email). Thanks.
