Ilkeston Folk and Blues Club
Probably the best folk club round here.  Normally have 15 performers on each night, with a huge variety of music - there's plenty of folk and blues (whatever folk and blues is), but plenty of other styles as well, plus a number of very good singer songwriters

The Lion, Basford
Probably the best open mike night, hosted by the Toe Tappers, who are a highly talented and versatile duo.  Highly recommended - not to mention the free music on Fridays and Saturdays, and the 10 real ales

The Greyhound, Beeston
Another great open mike night, this time on a Tuesday

Nottingham Harmonic Society
An amazing powerful choir of 150-200 voices, probably one of the best amateur choirs in the country.  We do large concerts in the Royal Centre Nottingham in March and November, a concert in Southwell Minster in May, Handel's Messiah in December and two carol concerts at Christmas.  Come along - you will not be disappointed

Joe's Musical Circus
Monthly songwriter nights at Chameleon, in a former life Raffles, in Nottingham City Centre

Becky Syson
Superb singer songwriter, who also runs a monthly songwriter night at the Maze

Melody Market at the Loft - Good music every Sunday night, in a friendly venue


The Victoria, Beeston
10 real ales - always in faultless condition - wonderful food including a good veggie selection, great live music on Sundays, live jazz on Mondays, plus the odd beer festival or two

Quorn Hash House Harriers
The international drinking club with a running problem!!

Noyhag
A friendly local group for walking, cycling and other outdoor activities and social gatherings, plus monthly weekends away
