The Welly Folk Club
The Wilson Family have been organising a weekly Folk Club continuously for more than 50 years, encouraging new singers and musicians and providing a venue for established Guests to perform. For the past 30 years, our home has been at The Wellington Inn, Wolviston Village, just north of our home town of Billingham: The Welly!
The Welly Folk Club meets every Thursday from 8.30pm.
