Event information

The Toy Museum Folk Club is Brighton's newest traditional folk night, bringing the very best acts to the unique setting of Brighton Toy and Model Museum. Come and watch intimate acoustic sets from the finest folk talents, and explore the train sets, model planes and traditional children's toys on display in the museum.

Tim Eriksen is acclaimed for transforming American tradition with his startling interpretations of old ballads, love songs, shape-note gospel and dance tunes from New England and Southern Appalachia.

A musical polymath, Tim's work ranges far and wide, encompassing duo work with Eliza Carthy and on a Grammy-nominated record with Omar Sosa. He acted as a consultant on the iconic Cold Mountain soundtrack and is the only musician to have shared the stage with both Kurt Cobain and Doc Watson.

Support comes from Ben Walker, who was recently named the 9th best acoustic guitarist in the world by Total Guitar magazine. He is a BBC Folk Award-winning musician who has released a number of acclaimed albums as part of the duo Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker. This summer he releases his debut solo album, Echo. It's excellent.

This is a chance to catch this tremendous line-up in a unique space, bringing their music to an intimate audience of fans, vintage stuffed toys and model trains!
