Milford Folk Club was established in 2007 – more or less on a wing and a prayer.

The organiser hadn’t been inside a folk club since the smoky, dingy, hand over ear sessions of the 1960s but had always loved traditional music, both folk and blues.

So, it was these 60s type back room of pubs that she remembered and therefore set about running the new Milford Folk Club along the same lines. The smoky, dingy atmosphere of the 60s couldn’t be replicated but there were converted portakabins and beer!   -  the original Community Centre.

In 2010 the folk club moved into the new Community Centre in Milford on Sea  - now renamed as The Bridge. Although quite an upgrade from the portacabins the friendly welcoming atmosphere persists.

Milford Folk Club was so fortunate to attract the Goodthyme Brothers, Jim Palmer and Bill Hesp.   Bill has stayed the course and is now the regular host and all time walking encyclopedia of folk knowledge: he knows who wrote and recorded everything.

Bill organises the evenings – usually a couple of songs from him, welcome floor singers and guest performers.

The room has a stage, brilliant lighting and sound systems if needed and welcomes all sorts of music. One exciting ‘spin off’ is the regular Blues nights organised by Bob Long.

The acoustic/traditional scene locally seems to be thriving and, despite many other venues now operating locally, Milford Folk Club often attracts an audience of around 60 or more.  Guests always say what a great venue it is and what great audiences Milford provides.  Add to that  -  local talented musicians who come along and who support the club by singing a few numbers, playing a few tunes, reading a few poems. It’s a great venue with a great host and a great audience.
