THE MILKMAID
SONGWRITERS CLUB
For more than 25 years the Milkmaid Folk Club has delivered memorable performances by folk artists of all levels. The annual songwriting competition was introduced 10 years ago to provide a platform for folk songwriters to showcase their compositions. That has now extended into a series of workshops and a songwriter's circle.
