Our Club Nights

Deep Cove Folk meets the second Friday of each month except July and August beginning at 7:30PM in St. John’s United Church, 10990 West Saanich Road (in the center of the Deep Cove entertainment district. We have increased the admission price to our monthly concerts to $15 as of September 2024 so that we can cover the costs of keeping Deep Cove Folk financially viable.

  • We’ll be having a number of new and exciting acts that we’re really looking forward to hearing (see Upcoming Events)
  • Clubs will begin at 7:30PM so the evening is finished by 10:00PM. 
  • Streamlining the Open Mic (click on the new “Open Mic” page for details)
  • Return to the Refreshment Break—if we can find folks interested in doing it (please email info@deepcovefolk.ca if you’d like to help out

The format for Deep Cove Folk begins with a 45-60 minute open stage (10 minutes per performer). This is  followed by a 15 minute break and then a 60 minute concert by a featured artist or group which would typically begin at 8:45 and end about 9:45

Deep Cove Folk (DCF) is an informal group that has operated for 30 years through the efforts of volunteers who are dedicated to the idea that a monthly night of acoustic music in the relaxed setting of a small country church is a valuable and enjoyable aspect of our community. We are a non-profit organization, registered under the BC Societies Act and our goal is to take in sufficient money to meet our expenses and pay the musicians. Even the volunteers and the directors pay admission to our monthly concerts.

DCF was initiated in January 1989 by our founding mother, Jill King, and DCF has continued since then at the same venue, St Johns United Church, which recently received a heritage building designation by the District of North Saanich.

Deep Cove Folk supports the Seaside Music Festival (formerly Folk ’n” Fiddle Festival) and encourages you to look into its many activities (https://seasidemusic.ca ).

We could use your help!

If you would like to help with any aspect of DCF, contact us here at info@deepcovefolk.ca or at the concerts on the second Friday of the month.
