We have recorded many of the club night performances across the years and  have posted both video and audio playlists on the individual pages dedicated to our club nights in the website menu. We hope you will enjoy watching these recordings and that we can look forward to welcoming you in person to one of our regular Folk Club Nights which are always held in the Kilmarnock Arms Hotel from around 8:30 pm on the last Friday of the month (pandemics and other such catastrophes permitting).

A new series of Retro Designs promoting Cruden Bay and the Folk Club

In the early 1900’s Cruden Bay was a popular holiday destination with a railway line running to the village station and a tram car ferrying passengers to and from the majestic Cruden Bay Railway Hotel. A series of posters were designed to promote Cruden Bay as a destination. We have created a whole new range of designs in a similar style to continue promoting Cruden Bay as a destination and hopefully new visitors to our village and our Folk Club.

Additionally, we have had these designs printed as postcards which can be purchased in gift packs including all 6 images from the Folk Club, or the village Newsagents for £3.00

These first four images all appear in the lyrics of the club anthem “Cruden Water,” while the “First Flight Across The North Sea” and “The Last Train To Cruden Bay” images both relate to significant moments in Cruden Bay’s history.

To find out more about the stories behind the individual designs, click on the images below.

Sir-Reel Clarks

Sir-Reel Clarks is a small family band with diverse and zany ideas. Surreal with a double meaning!

At our club night on 31st March 2023, we were delighted to extend the warmest of welcomes and shine our spotlight on Arron and his dad, Andy Clark.

The Folk Club is delighted to welcome the return of Aaron and Sir-Reel Clarks to a Spotlight Session at our regular club night on Friday 29th March 2024 when we look forward to what is certain to be another excellent night.

The Beatles Theme Night

Our regular club night on Friday 28th July was a ‘Beatles Theme Night’, many of the regular performers, including our very own ‘Flab Four’ The Baytles, came together to deliver a programme of 19 Beatles numbers in the ‘open mike’ part of the evening followed by many more fantastic Beatles covers in the session.

All in all, it was another fantastic night at Cruden Bay Folk Club, if you missed it or would like to replay some of the performances again, just click here to visit the Beatles Theme Night page.

We created this little video trailer, which features the Folk Club anthem ‘Cruden Water’, to help us promote up-and-coming events, as you can imagine, it hasn’t been put to too much use during the Coronavirus lockdowns, however, we have started fighting back by holding virtual club nights, and the feedback we’ve received regarding this little video has been great.

We held our first club night in 2012, back then the club was meeting in the Lounge Bar of the Kilmarnock Arms Hotel, and more recently, prior to covid-19, our club nights have been held in the dining room of the Killie, a warm and welcoming space which is ideal for our regulars and visitors. The club has met regularly since 2012 and over the years we’ve captured some great moments on video which you can check out by visiting our video archive page, just click here.
