He'll also be talking about his his cats, his golf, his love of the country and everything else inbetween. Tickets are already selling fast so book on line HERE or pop into the shop. Tickets can't be bought over the phone.

Join Tom Cox - nature and humour writer, failed pro golfer and creator of the @MYSADCAT Twitter account - as he reads
from, talks about and signs copies of his latest book, Close Encounters Of The Furred Kind. As well as episodes from Tom's life with five demanding and
eccentric cats, there'll be tales from his life in the Devon and Norfolk countryside and about his loud, excitable dad. Expect shouting, swearing and an unlikely story about a toad.

Doors open at 7pm. Start at 7.30.
Please note this is an over 18 event.

No food or drink to be brought onto the premises. Bar open serving hot and cold drinks, ale and wine plus cake!

Happy Birthday to us!

It's just over a year since our doors opened. I'll get round to writing about it soon. This is just a wee thanks to all who have visited, both in person and digitally on line. You rock.

Keith James: The Songs of Nick Drake

Tomorrow (Wednesday 10th June) we host The Songs of Nick Drake from Keith James. Here's what the media had to say about him.

"Keith James has become a pillar of trust. A sublimely intimate and engaging voice." The Sunday Times

"Certainly the UKs most celebrated and evocative enterpreter of golden music" The Gurdian

So he's pretty good.

There are not many tickets left so we may not have any on the door, or very few, so booking is highly recommended.

The Big Comfy Folk Club

Our gigs are very popular but I run all the aspects of the shop from the bar to the books to even the sound desk, so I've decided to scale back and only have 2 gigs a month. Because of this I've decided to create The Big Comfy Folk Club!

The Folk Club will consist of 3 acts, at least one being local, and showcase the best of the folk and acoustic music world. Already booked in are several Radio 2 Folk winners alongside fantastic up and coming local and national, and even international acts!

The club will happen on the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month, with a few exceptions. Some gigs were already booked in and so I've kept as many as I can that work in the time frame and those I've had to cancel I've done my best to sort the acts onto the new bill.
Tickets will be £5 per gig, of which 90% goes to the acts. We are however starting a membership scheme. Pay £25 for the year and you'll be able to get into the events for just £2 plus have advance ticket sales for bigger gigs. If you attend all the events that saves you nearly £50! If you are a Facebook person, please add yourself to the new Folk Club group HERE as this is where the information will be added on a regular basis, and you can take a quick glance at our upcoming schedule. If you're not on Facebook then all our gigs are on our Events page HERE. I've also added a dedicated Folk Club page HERE.

Tickets can be purchased directly from the shop or bought online Here. If you're interested in the membership then please pop in or send me an email at Contact@TheBigComfyBookshop.co.uk.
