Saturday 18th February 2012, 9pm Maker

Maker state their influences as being anything from
Howlin' Wolf to the Faces to Primal Scream, think Small Faces with the rock 'n' roll swagger of Oasis. This will be one of their rare 'unplugged' appearances and promises to be a great night.

Saturday 25th February 2012, 9pm Greg McDonald & Gemma Gayner

Formed in March 2011, the duo brings together singer-songwriter Greg McDonald's award-winning narrative songs and fiddle virtuoso Gemma Gayner's breathtaking musicianship.

As a songwriter Greg McDonald has won awards from Rolling Stone and been called "inspired" by The Times. Greg's debut album Stranger at the Door was Q magazine's highest rated independent album of 2009, while 2011's follow up Tomorrow England was called "one of the most complete albums in years" by fRoots writer Simon Jones.

Gemma Gayner's virtuosic skill across genres from folk to jazz to classical has taken her from Deptford jazz cellars to major folk festival stages and seen her called a "powerhouse instrumentalist" by fRoots. Between them Greg and Gemma have worked with Show of Hands, Dawn Parade, The Dealers, JD & the Longfellows, and shared stages with everyone from Seth Lakeman to The Pogues.

SUNDAY 8th Jan QUIZ NIGHT CANCELLED [posted on 08/01/2012]

Due to circumstances beyond our control, tonight's quiz night is cancelled (8th Jan). Apologies for the inconvenience.

Quiz Night on New Years Day! [posted on 31/12/2011]

Contrary to previous information, there WILL be a quiz on Sunday 1st January, so if you've got any energy left and the hangover isn't too bad, come along and join in. And remember it's a bank holiday on Monday!

Hope to see you there, and Happy New Year!

SEASONS GREETINGS and stuff (UPDATED) [posted on 24/12/2011]

Tim and all at the Barge would like to wish everybody a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year!

Next happenings:

There will be no quiz night on Boxing Day or New Year's Day; the next quiz will take place on Sunday 8th January 2012.

UPDATE 31/12/2011: There WILL be a quiz on New Year's Day!!!
Please come along and get the grey matter working again.

Also there will be no live music over the holiday period, the next live event being our 'Bards At The Barge' open mic on Wednesday January 4th.

Maker Unplugged - 6/6/11 [posted on 05/06/2011]

Last-minute booking for Monday 6th June - Maker will be performing one of their rare 'unplugged' sets from 9pm onwards. Not to be missed!

MONDAY CANCELLATIONS [posted on 13/05/2011]

Due to dwindling audience numbers over the last few months it is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of all Monday night 'Folk at the Barge' gigs until further notice - the pub has been losing money on these nights and simply cannot afford to continue to do so.

As I'm sure you will all be aware, this is not a decision that has been taken lightly; we have been hosting Monday night folk/blues/jazz without a break for 20 years (since 1991) and are very sorry to let it go.

We would like to extend our deepest thanks to everybody who has supported us over the years, players and punters alike.

Wednesday and Saturday gigs are not affected by this decision and will continue as advertised (this includes 'Bards at the Barge' open mic night, on the first Wednesday of each month).

Regards,
Tim and the Barge crew.
