Over the years he played at both the Ruskin House Folk & Blues Club & the Rhythm & Blues Club. In 2015 despite his ill health he organised a concert at Ruskin House to raise money for the Parkinson's Charity. Alan had been living in Swansea for some years now and his funeral is therefore being held there. Details of this are listed below Garry & Tina & the Folk and Blues club family send their sincere condolences to his brother Geoff and the rest of his family. Farewell Alan you have left us with great memories.

The Croydon Folk and Blues Club meets every Sunday evening from 8:00 at Ruskin House, 23 Coombe Road, Croydon, Surrey (see how to find us). Everyone is welcome - not just musicians, and those of all abilities are encouraged to "have a go" if they want to - it doesn't have to be folk OR blues either! Originals or covers are all welcome. The music starts around 8:30 with the regular sessions. An hour later there is usually a 'hotspot' which features a special guest. After the hotspot it's back to the regular session and the evening usually ends featuring club organiser Garry Davis and his harmonica with other musicians and singers. It is a very friendly, relaxed and supportive atmosphere and only costs £3, which also enters you into the fabulous end-of-evening prize draw. A wide range of drinks is also available from the main bar till 10:45. Ruskin House also hosts Croydon Folk Song Club on Mondays.

If you would like to play at Ruskin House on a Sunday, prepare about five numbers and make yourself known to Garry when you arrive. If it's busy and you're at the end of the line, you may not get on till late. We have started to use amplification, but the acoustics are good and unplugged is plenty loud enough. The adjacent Cedar Room, which we use for large-scale events, has full PA facilities (and a bar). In the summer we often have a barbeque on the huge patio.
