When you think about it, we’ve done a lot to be proud of since October 2012.
The format of the evening is usually played out in two halves, the first half being a more structured open mike session with individual performers invited to play to the audience, during this section a PA system is available. There will then be a short break during which time there will be a wee raffle to raise funds, prize donations are always very much appreciated.
Although called Cruden Bay Folk Club, we welcome a much broader range of musical genres with an anything goes attitude to what performers can choose to play.
So if you can make it to Cruden Bay on the last Friday of the month you’ll be made most welcome at Cruden Bay Folk Club, so get the date of our next meeting in your diary and we’ll see you there.

This little video trailer features footage of our first club night in 2012, back then the club was meeting in the Lounge Bar of the Kilmarnock Arms Hotel.
More recently our club nights have been held in the dining room of the Killie, a warm and welcoming space which is ideal for our regulars and visitors. The club has met regularly since 2012 and over the years we’ve captured some great moments on video which you can check out by visiting our video archive page, just click here.

Bratach Bana – Fund Raising CD
In 2006 a group of local musicians formed a band called Bratach Bana who recorded the highly acclaimed album, Shetland Lights.
At the heart of Bratach Bana was our Folk Club Secretary Scott Thompson, who along with 5 other talented performers launched their seminal album at the 2007 Stonehaven Folk Festival.
Cruden Bay Folk Club are pleased to announce that we now have in our possession the remaining copies of this fantastic album and they are now on sale through the club for just £5.00, with all proceeds going towards the clubs charity fund.
