About Us .....

We have been meeting in the upstairs back room of "The Swiggin'Pig" since 1979 and have gained a well-deserved reputation in Boring. "Borfolk's" motto is to boldly forge ahead with the tradition. So as well as our regular evenings, normally on the 2nd and 4th Thursday in the month, we also run occasional concerts and barn dances. These may not necessarily be normal nights. (Check our "Who's On When" page for details). These special events are so we can present performers that are known   better than the ones we usually have at "The Swiggin'Pig". We particularly enjoy traditional music. The songs and tunes our resident singers and musicians perform are very old - the same is true of the guest performers we book.     But we do also like to hear other sorts of music performed no matter how obscure       Everyone is welcome! Local singers and musicians often give us the blues,    country, celtic and bluegrass and some try out their songwriting skills. Without any       doubt "If the music's got roots we'll dig it!". To give new singers and musicians a chance we alternate our guest nights with "come-all-ye"s when just anyone can get up and perform irrespective. From time to time our "come-all-ye" s are special theme nights - when we sing songs and play tunes loosely   based on a chosen subject - but most of the time they are not special. Audience members are particularly welcome. Anyone can turn up, even if they can't sing or play Well known names on the English folk scene and others are booked on the fourth Thursday in the month and our "come-all-ye"s are on the second. The room is opened up at 7.00pm and we like to get there early to have a "diddly music" session before the MC gets a grip on the proceedings at 8.30pm. We hope we have tempted you to visit "Borfolk" for an evening of good entertainment sometime.
