The Travelling Folk (TTF) is a
travelling folk club for West Kent and East Sussex. We don't meet
regularly in one venue but gather in pre-selected pubs around the
area on the first and third Thursdays of each month to enjoy
ourselves and to bring folk music to those who may not have had
the opportunity of experiencing a live folk session before.

Saturday
20 January 2018 - The
Bully Wee Band. Originally formed in the early
70s by brothers Jim and John Yardley, the Bully Wee Band
successfully toured Britain, Europe and America through several
line-ups until the last one of Ian Cutler, Fergus Feely, Colin
Reece and Maartin Allcock finally called it a day in 1983.
20 years later a chance meeting between Messrs Cutler, Feely and
Reece resulted in a very spirited jam session at Faversham Folk
Club in Kent, and a subsequent decision to put a three piece
Bully Wee Band back on the road in January 2004 "if only for the
craic".
So successful was the 2004 tour that Colin, Ian and Fergus
decided to repeat the experience the following January, only this
time with the addition of Bully Wee founder member Jim Yardley.
Thus the current line-up of Ian Cutler, Fergus Feely, Colin Reece
and Jim Yardley was complete and reunited.
