Folkclub Twente organizes monthly folkconcerts (or open folk stage) at De Roef, Enschede, The Netherlands (near the German border just below the latitude of Amsterdam and Hannover).

Concerts
Concerts start on time, the concert hall will open half an hour in advance and is non-smoking. There is a separate smoking room.
The price ranges are: adult, sponsor and student (below the age of 25). Children under 12y: free admission. Up to 17y and session musicians pay half the entrance fee.
De Roef offers a pleasant venue with a bar and plenty of space (for sessions).

Reservations
Make online reservations or call +31(0)53-4766283

Sessions
If you play an instrument, don't forget to bring it with you. Often there is plenty of opportunity for session play after the concert is finished. The sessions usually start with Irish folk tunes but other styles like blues, klezmer, bluegrass, indian, or any other folk style are very welcome too. Maybe you can sing or tell stories. Don't be modest and take your chance. On top of that: session musicians pay only half of the entrance fee.
