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.

Ewan McLennan has, in a short space of time, come to be known as a guitarist at the forefront of his generation; a singer and a songwriter that can move audiences with his passion and pathos. The songs he sings and writes are rooted in traditional songs and the tradition of folk music as social commentary.

Here's a rare opportunity to watch Ewan McLennan in a venue like no other. Support comes from Bird in the Belly. A new folk collective from Brighton, Bird in the Belly recently released their debut album 'The Crowing', upon which they breathed new life into folk songs that had rarely (or never) been recorded before. They're a brilliant live act, and round off an unmissable line-up.

"In many ways Ewan McLennan is the perfect embodiment of modern folk song. An outstanding guitarist, a magnificent interpreter of traditional song and an immensely gifted songwriter." (Spiral Earth)
