Presenting live acoustic music in Twickenham most Sundays, at Patchworks, The Cabbage Patch pub, 2 minutes from Twickenham Station
TwickFolk has been presenting live music in South West London since January 1983. We are now one of the best-known and most highly respected hosts of live acoustic, folk, blues and Americana in South East England. We aim to book the best quality acts across a broad range of genres – traditional and contemporary music from Britain, Europe and beyond. Doors open at 7.45pm, for music at 8pm. The Cabbage Patch serves a selection of real ales and craft beers alongside everything you’d expect of a pub, including food.
Coming up at TwickFolk:
15 November: Hunter Muskett
Hunter Muskett are an acoustic/electric band playing distinctive original songs in a folk, blues and sometimes Americana style. Originally formed in 1968, they played at home and abroad until 1974 and produced two, now collectable, albums, Every Time You Move with bassist Danny Thompson, and the Keith Relf-produced Hunter Muskett, which also features drummer Michael Giles of King Crimson. Since reforming in 2010, Hunter Muskett now tour again and have released three albums of new material, That Was Then This Is Now (2013), Unafraid and Sober (2016) and Roll On (2024).
“Hunter Muskett continues to be a creative musical force to be reckoned with, up there with the very best. Roll On is a sophisticated, stylish, high-class album and an object lesson in the art of songwriting and musicianship” – FATEA
“Beautifully written and performed…thoughtful songs that come across as a warm hug” – RnR Magazine

Our final singaround of the year, with proceeds going to Prostate Cancer UK.
We’ll be starting at 7.30pm, a bit earlier than usual, with doors opening at 7.15pm.
Expect anything from sea shanties to psychedelia, with a mix of original songs, traditional songs and covers of well known and less known songs. Some performers will take requests on the night.
If you fancy a go at singing in public, then this is the place to start.
If you just want to sit back and listen, that’s also fine. In fact listening, and paying attention to the words and music, is what an evening of folk is all about.
We welcome anyone with a song or a tune to play. Or a poem or a story tell. Expect a warm welcome and a supportive ring of singers and audience.
Non-performers are welcome to come and there is no need to pre-book.

Two of the most recognised musicians on the British folk scene today combine their considerable talents to provide a beautiful and warm evening of the highest calibre music; the perfect antidote to the materialism of the festive season.
With their understated brilliance, Jackie Oates & John Spiers invite you into their captivating world of English carols, wassails and other historical traditions, festive songs and tunes from the British Isles and far beyond. The concert includes original music and selected covers, and a host of instruments are played – fiddle, melodeon, percussion, recorders and stomp box – creating a richly textured sound. By sharing insights into their own family traditions, the duo provide inspiration for a simpler and wholesome Christmas – one where tradition, family, ritual and celebration are the beating heart.
Jackie and John are multi award-winning and hugely influential folk musicians who bring their breadth of experience to this finely matched duo. Jackie (two-time BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winner and five-time nominee) is an exquisite singer, expressive fiddler and composer with a string of critically acclaimed albums and reputation… Continue reading. →
