The young performers showcase will see a number of young performers aged from 9 to 19 years playing as soloists and in different groups in any style of music they want to perform, according to their strengths and interests. It’s a great chance for the young musicians to get up and show us what sort of music they really like playing. We have a young bluesy/jazzy guitarist, a classical harpist, a couple of singer/songwriters, and many traditional musicians.
Featuring;
Why are we doing this? To give the young musicians a space to show off their talents in a fun, safe environment. They were also issued the challenge that they were to play one tune as an ensemble, it’s a fun way to stretch the performers a little, and perhaps get them learning some new tunes or make some new musical friends among this very talented bunch of young musicians!!
Please bring a plate and contribute to a scrumptious supper.
Bring some friends – bring family – bring youngsters – bring strangers; even bring university professors, to join in a social evening, with plenty of fun and music, beside the crackling fire.
Between the 10 rounds of questions we’ll have music from our floor singers to keep you entertained while the scores are totted up.
Rounds comprise the following categories with five questions in each category:–
There will be some easy questions and some harder ones, and some questions where it might help if you had a youngster on your team.
We are looking to get at least 10 teams of six people, there will be spot prizes for the most outlandishly dressed team, outlandishly dressed person and the person with the best hat!! The winning team will become the "Supreme Champions of Trivia" and they will be immortalised in TFMC history for at least a week!
All you have to do is:-
Give your team a name; the more outlandish and folk connected the better e.g. the Outlandish Knights.
Booking early is advised. Floor singers are encouraged to provide the additional entertainment between rounds.

The Club was conceived in 1965 when the Clancy Brothers didn't come and someone had the astounding idea of having a sing-a-round thus transforming an audience into a folk group. Formally established in 1966 we're still going strong.
