About

Rumney Folk Club meet once a month in St. Augustine’s church hall on Whitehall Parade, Rumney, Cardiff, where everyone is treated to a diverse range of folk & acoustic music welcoming musicians to perform regardless of skill or age. Essentially, it’s an open mic format but its considered to be a little bit more than that.

The candle-lit atmosphere is said to be one of the best among the folk circuit of South Wales. Put that in combination of some wonderful music and a licensed bar… you have a perfect occasion to end the week with.

Performing at the club

Rumney Folk Club is open to a diverse range of musicians, instruments and takes on folk/country/blues/acoustic music. We welcome musicians of any age or any skill. We’ve had many performers ‘break their performing duck’ at the club, helped along by an appreciative crowd. Admission to the evening is FREE for musicians!

To play at the club, simply give us an email/call or turn up early on the night to sign-up to play. Please note, that it’s a first come, first served approach used for artist sign-up for any given evening.
