Leith Folk Club

Leith Folk Club

A proper folk club where live music happens in a room that actually feels like it means something, down in Newhaven where the fishermen used to gather.

You'll find yourself on Newhaven Main Street—that steep bit that slopes down towards the water—pushing open the door to a place that's been hosting folk musicians for decades. It's the kind of venue where the audience actually shuts up and listens, where you're sat close enough to see the musician's fingers on the fretboard, and where the person next to you might just be someone who's been coming here since before you were born. The atmosphere is lived-in, honest, and utterly unpretentious.
