The Saltcellar Folk Club is based in Totterdown, Bristol.
Folk music evenings take place at 7.30pm on the first Saturday of each month in the basement (or salt cellar) of Totterdown Baptist Church on Wells Road, Bristol, BS4 2AX. All are welcome to come along. Admission is usually £6 on the door.
The club invites good quality folk and acoustic acts from Bristol and the surrounding counties to headline each month. In addition, each evening includes local floor singers and musicians. Just turn up and let us know if you want to perform!
