Milton Hide are well known on the folk club and festival circuit, performing their own songs on guitar, clarinet and percussion. Expect songs of interesting characters including Roundabout Jack, Molly Mothballs and the tale telling Uncle Jim.

“Milton Hide are quirky and skilful, mixing traditional forms with contemporary themes, songs both fun and beautiful..”  Mark Mulrooney Colindale Barnet Folk Club

“their material is a mixture of funny, poignant, political and thought provoking all delivered in an entertaining way” Brian Dalton Organiser, Croydon Folk Club

“a warm and engaging Duo performing an eclectic mix of Folk music in it’s widest genre.   Music however is not their only attribute as they engage their audience with stories and humour.  In all a truly ‘complete’ act.”  Chris Deacon Bridport Folk Festival

  • There is the option to order delicious homemade food @£12.50 per person  – look out for the link on your order confirmation after you click submit
  • Booking is limited to 4 per order – contact us if you’d like to book for more
  • BRING YOUR OWN DRINK – THERE IS NO BAR! and PLEASE TAKE YOUR EMPTIES HOME.
  • Our new venue is bigger – we’ll need more people to make the atmosphere cosy like the kitchen, so we’d love you to encourage your friends to come!
