Each night at the club a different person hosts the evening, and they set their individual stamp on proceedings. They are there to facilitate the evening, welcome you if you are a visitor and make sure everyone gets a chance to sing and play in a supportive, friendly atmosphere.
Many of our members are also involved with the Exmoor Carolers – the 2018 programme is at the bottom of this page.
