Help spread the word!
Invite your friends and family to join us for the stellar music and the warm community.
As one of Calgary's premiere music destinations, it would be easy to be impersonal - after all, success often makes for big crowds and anonymity. Through its 44 seasons to date, however, the Calgary Folk Club has remained a deeply personal thing for all involved. Clusters of community and friendship weave through our hall, and the customary greeting between patrons - even those who don't know one another by name - is a warm and friendly smile. Perfect strangers sit across tables from one another and share conversation, stories, even snacks, in the presence of musicians that can make club night, for many, the highlight of a week.
With winter looming on the horizon, we want to share this warmth with everyone who might be interested, and you can help! Please take a moment or two to forward this email to the music-lovers in your life, or point them to our
Facebook page or our
website. Season Pass holders, why not bring a guest who hasn't joined us before? Community and passion are the things that have kept the Calgary Folk Club going strong since 1972, and we need your help to introduce us to the people who will carry us through to 2072.
Thank you all for being a part of this truly unique endeavour, and as always, see you at the club!
