The Braidwood Folk Music Club was formed over 18 years ago by a dedicated group of people with the aim of presenting and promoting folk music and the folk arts in the Braidwood district.


Aside from organising and running the Music at the Creek festival in November, the club holds regular folk nights in the Anglican church hall from 7pm, generally on the 3rd Thursday of the month. Most folk nights there is a guest artist with support by local singers and poets.


Please bring your own drinks.

Nigel Wearne


   Nigel Wearne is a country/folk singer-songwriter whose music has an intimate and poignant narrative. Equipped with personally handcrafted guitars, his music melds finger-style guitar, honky tonk, country twang and honest storytelling. With a hint of Hank Williams and influences including Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Steve Earle and the spirit of Woody

Guthrie, Nigel tells stories of mischievous bank robbers, wandering poets and his love of eggs.

    Nigel has performed at various music festivals throughout Australia, most recently at the 2012 Port Fairy Folk Festival, 2012 Gulgong Folk Festival and 2011 Tablelands Folk Festival.

    Nigel's current album 'Sweetest Delusion' is an entirely acoustic affair - "the kind of music that really speaks and it'd be a shame not to listen" (Forte Magazine). ‘With frayed poetic edges and honest grit, Nigel Wearne is capturing audiences across the country' (Beat Magazine).

   Simone and Craig perform original songs and instrumentals that cover a wide range of roots music styles including acoustic Blues, Ki Hoalu (Hawaiian slack key) along with Celtic and Country Music influences.

    Their original songs are often poignant and hard -hitting ballads that explore a variety of political and sensitive social topics. Craig and Simone are also known for their ability to get their audiences laughing and singing along. Together they are well known regulars on the festival circuit and have performed at many venues including the Woodford Folk Festival, the National Folk Festival and the Sydney Acoustic Guitar Festival.
