The Hills Folk Club is not an exclusive club for members.  It is a venue for folk enthusiasts to meet and either perform or listen to the best of SA folk music.  We encourage new performers to come and contribute, whatever their level of expertise.  Everyone is welcome.  

What we do:

The Hills Folk Club meets at the Aldgate Pump Hotel, just out of Adelaide, South Australia.  There is a session and concert on the first Sunday of each month as well as the very popular session on the third Sunday of each month, both starting at 4pm.

The hotel has provided a special Hills Folk Club menu, with similar prices to the bar menu and cheaper than the restaurant prices.

How we began

The Hills Folk Club began life as a small group of folkies meeting in a living room in Stirling over 20 years ago.  It moved to the Aldgate Pump hotel and then found a home at the Bridgewater Hotel, then owned by Brian and Viv Tonkin (who now run the Gov). After the Tonkins moved on, the club continued but following another change of landlord (who wanted rock and roll), it moved for several years to the Uraidla Hotel.  Next, for a time it ran at the Mt Lofty Football Clubrooms but lack of atmosphere and lack of patrons nearly saw it die.  The flame flickered on in another lounge room  and after a few months was resurrected at the Crafers Inn where it remained for many years until the move to Aldgate in May 2007.
