A Crookes Folk Club presentation at The Princess Royal, 43 Slinn Street, Sheffield, S10 1NW.*TICKETING & DOOR POLICY*
Whilst we occasionally run ticketed Friday Night Specials, entry for our regular weekly Thursday club nights is on a first-come-first-served basis and unticketed and we do not take advanced seat bookings.
Entry for regular club nights is free, we pay our guests by way of a *CASH* collection. Whilst we understand that some simply haven't the means to make a contribution and absolutely DO NOT wish to exclude them, we expect those who can to make as generous a donation as they are able in recognition of our guest's work.
*GORDON TYRRALL
Gordon Tyrrall's roots are in traditional English, Irish and Scottish music. In 1979 he became so enthusiastic that he gave up the old desk job and opted for a more precarious existence as a musician. Although trad is still his first love, he now writes many songs and tunes of his own and likes to be quite explorative and unconventional in his performances. He first stretched his wings when he decided to work on the poetry and music of John Clare. Since then, he has taken a swing at some of the sonnets of Shakespeare, a series of traditional japanese haiku, and written songs set in modern-day Leeds and Sheffield, but with a mystical context. In 2014, this became a fully-fledged "show", with songs and visuals, called "Mumonkan" which he perfed as a one-off at the prestigious Ilkley Literature Festival.
Since "Mumonkan", Gordon has become a core member of the highly rated Róisín Bán.
