We don’t often have visitors from outside the UK at Nitten Folk Club: most of our guests hail from our own sunny (?) shores, although many of them have visited America, and many other countries, when touring.

Ragged Glory returned to the NItten stage on Thursday 11th August after a long absence. They had been scheduled to play in April but were stricken by the now almost ubiquitous COVID bug.

We got off to a fabulous start when John Graham and Jim Jack graced our stage for an evening of wonderful music and friendly banter on Thursday evening. Despite the continuous drone of the air-con, and a …
