Little Rock Folk Club is dedicated to preserving the link between the musical traditions of the Old and New Worlds.
Little Rock Folk Club was founded June 12th 1989 by several diehard fans of U.K. and Irish music in the Little Rock area and is Little Rock's oldest 'bridge' between the Old and New World musical traditions. During the intervening years we have produced numerous concerts by some of the best and most enduring musicians in that genre. This includes strictly traditional artists and songwriters/composers working in that genre. LRFC is a 501(c)(3) organization. We welcome sponsorship, donations and input from others sharing our interests.

Maire Ni Chathasaigh & Chris Newman
The celebrated virtuoso partnership of the doyenne of Irish harpers (SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY) and one of the UKs most staggering and influential acoustic guitarists (fROOTS), has by now brought its special musical vision to venues large and small - from the tiniest of historic churches in England, Germany and Italy to palaces in Kyoto and Istanbul, Londons Barbican, Sydney Town Hall and the Philharmonie in Cologne in twenty-two countries on five continents. Their performances - described by The Irish Times as music of fire and brilliance from the high-wire act in traditional music - are rooted but eclectic, emotional but adventurous: a breathtaking blend of traditional Irish music, hot jazz, bluegrass and baroque, coupled with striking new compositions and Chriss delightfully subversive wit. They've made many appearances on TV and radio and their busy touring schedule has brought them to twenty-one countries on five continents.
