Gainsborough is a small market town in north west Lincolnshire (England).
The folk club is small but extremely enthusiastic and friendly, and this site should tell you everything you need to know about it, but if you have any questions, please email, or telephone (01427 838726), or just turn up at the
Melrose Club
Melrose Road,
Gainsborough,

The usual format is a singaround, although we occasionally book guests.

Access
We can now provide assistance for our less able visitors in the form of a stairlift to the first landing; leaving only 4 steps up to the first floor.
The lift has been kindly donated by Paul Lancaster and installed by the Melrose Club

Please note~

  • We will be starting a little earlier than we have in the past~ meet at 8pm and be 'underway' by 8-30~ and finish by about 11-15;
  • There will be no ukulele sessions for the time being;
  • While the wearing of masks is not obligatory please do not hesitate to use one if it makes you feel more safe;
  • All visitors and non members must physically sign in on arrival
  • There are some important changes to the Membership; these are summarised below~

    Paid membership of the Folk Club includes membership of the Melrose Sports and Social Club. At our AGM, we agreed to change our membership renewal date to 1st January in line with the Melrose Clubs financial year to make subscription payments more simple.
    The Melrose Club now have a new management committee and are hoping to be more business-like in the future and consequently have stated that in line with their constitution :

    All visitors and non members must physically sign in on arrival

    They have also proposed :
  • a possible small payment for non members
  • a possible increase in bar prices for non-members.

    It therefore makes sense for regular visitors to pay the annual Folk Club subscription (£20 single/£30 couple) so that they are automatically members of the Melrose Club and these restrictions do not apply.
