Little Rock Folk Club is dedicated to preserving the link
between the musical traditions of the old and new worlds.


Little Rock Folk Club was started in 1989 by several diehard fans of U.K. and Irish music in the Little Rock area and is Little Rock's oldest 'bridge' between the Old and New World musical traditions. During the intervening years we have produced numerous concerts by some of the best and most enduring musicians in that genre.  This includes strictly traditional artists and songwriters/composers working in that genre.  LRFC is a 501(c)(3) organization. We actively seek sponsorship, donations and input from others sharing our interests.

Nick Charles

See him first... Video

Since the release of his first solo album “My Place” in 1999 Nick Charles’ reputation and standing has spread from an already highly regarded position in the Australian roots music scene to critical acclaim on the world acoustic roots stage.  This follows the further release of another four successful albums on Blackmarket music and finally a much sought after place of distinction on U.S label Solid Air Records’ world famous guitarist roster. Coupled with a typical annual  concert schedule of more than 150 shows and a continuing recorded output now available worldwide a Nick Charles show is a veritable feast of great and memorable tunes, stories and songs from a lifetime on the road.

“Australia’s virtuoso of acoustic roots and blues” The Melbourn Age

Here's another opportunity for you to experience an evening of exceptional music, in the warm intimacy that is Thomson Hall, that you will be delighted to recall in years to come as a treasured memory! See you there :-)
