Welcome to Bromley Cross Folk Club

Up and Coming Events

6th January 2012 - Next musicians evening.

Friday, 20th January- Guest Night with Bernard Wrigley.

Bernard, The Bolton Bullfrog, will be entertaining us with great songs, comedy stories, skillful concertina and guitar playing. From starting in folk clubs, and then writing & performing at the Octagon theatre in Bolton, Bernard's career has alway combined singing and acting. From TV programmes and films such as Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Phoenix Nights, Dinner Ladies, Alan Bennett films, Brassed Off, My Son The Fanatic & Coogan's Run, to the many radio plays and programmes he's presented or guested upon, there has throughout been a steady stream of LPs and CDs - fifteen to date, the early ones all now remastered to CD.

There's a recent book (2008) of daft one verse poems The Longs & The Shorts Of It, to complement the first book Shorts For All Occasions, released in 2006.

He loves the varied nature of it all, such as one week reading a series of very silly customs on the Mark & Lard show on BBC Radio One, then being a prisoner in a tv advert for Walls' Sausages, being murdered on TV in Harbour Lights and later going to Norway for a commercial.

Tickets are available from Elaine on 01204 852217.
