Introduction

E-mail Print

Welcome to The Wesley Centre, Maltby, now home to The Rock, a long-standing folk club that has enjoyed over 35 years of live folk, roots and acoustic music.

The original Rock opened in September 1974 in the back room of a pub in the quaint little village of Wentworth, to the West of Rotherham and became established and acknowledged over time by the public and the artists themselves as one of the best folk clubs in the North of England, resulting in winning Best Folk Club in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, 2004.

Dave Berry and The Cruisers - Friday 3rd February - Sold Out

E-mail Print

 

British rock’n roll has had many memorable figures over the years and Dave Berry is one of them.  From what was a casual meeting many years ago Dave Berry has been bringing The Cruisers for an annual show to The Rock now for over 25 years and every concert that he has performed during that period has been top-drawer.  Originating from Sheffield, Dave was influenced by Chuck Berry and Gene Vincent and this helped him develop his own unique style of presentation.  Forming his band 'The Cruisers' in 1960 it was soon to become a popular local outfit around the Sheffield area.  This eventually attracted the attention of Mickie Most and Mike Smith, producers at Decca Records.  His first record was a reworking of 'Memphis Tennessee'.  In September 1963 Decca's intuition paid off with Dave and the band enjoying a top 20 hit with their first record.  This introduced Dave Berry to a much wider audience and opened the door to future success with his 1964 recording of 'The Crying Game', now acknowledged as a classic.

Sorry, sold out!

Martin Carthy - Friday 2nd March

E-mail Print

 

For more than 40 years Martin Carthy has been one of folk music’s greatest innovators, one of its best loved, most enthusiastic figures.  His skill, stage presence and natural charm have won him many admirers. Trailblazing partnerships with, amongst others, Steeleye Span, Dave Swarbrick, his award-winning wife Norma Waterson and his daughter Eliza.  Whether in the folk clubs, on a concert stage or TV appearances, there are few roles that Martin hasn’t played.  He’s a ballad singer, a ground-breaking guitarist and an authoritative interpreter of newly composed material.  He always prefers to follow an insatiable musical curiosity rather than cash in on his unrivalled position.  Perhaps, most significant of all, are his settings of traditional songs with guitar, which have influenced a generation of artists, including Bob Dylan and Paul Simon.

Tickets £12 (£10 Members/Concessions)
