MONDAY SUPPERCLUB
Supporting independent music
and raising funds for children's cancer research
Little Folk advise that we have experienced some issues in securing venues and staff for the 2023 season of Supperclub. We greatly appreciate the support we have received from Dome Cafe in Maylands, but recognise their challenges in finding out of hours staff in a post covid world. We hope to advise very soon that the program will kick off again for this year - either in our familiar location of Dome, or in a new home to be determined.
Why we do what we do
Time and again, Supperclub performers tell us how great it is to share their music and words with an attentive, silent audience. This makes us very happy, and lies at the heart of why we do what we do. To this end, Supperclub has a strict no-talking policy during performances.
Fancy a drink?
During Supperclub, the Dome Cafe is a BYO venue. There's a bottle shop in the pub next door and another one, offering a wider range, on Eighth Avenue, which lies on the other side of the railway line.

About us
About Little Folk Inc
All funds raised go to children’s cancer research at Perth Children’s Hospital. The charity has no paid collectors or employees. Having lost good friends to cancer, Perth music-lovers the Kenny family and a few others decided to do something about it.
The result was Little Folk Inc., a registered West Australian charity managed by the Kenny family. For over 20 years and mostly through the generosity and assistance of international, interstate and WA performers, the Kennys have raised $250,000.00 for children's cancer research, mainly through house concerts and their annual Folk in the Forest festival. |

9 May Spoken Word : TBA Music : Peter Bugden
This is a nostalgic moment for Peter, as he returns to sing at the place where, 37 years ago during its
heyday, he and his wife Annie, ran the successful “Peninsula Folk Club”.
As a long standing and respected member of the Western Australian Folk Scene, Peter is one of that
rapidly disappearing rare breed of performers possessing the ability to make you laugh, laugh
louder, and cry, in the space of two songs.
Having performed at Major Festivals, Clubs and Events around Australia, both as a solo performer
and with his shanty team, The Fo’c’s’le Firkins, Peter never disappoints and continues to endear
himself to audiences wherever he performs.
