Mansfield Brown Cow Folk Club

For many years there has been a folk club in Mansfield at the Brown Cow pub. Every Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. Doors open 8:00 p.m.

Generally this is either an open singers' night or a guest night, alternating each week, but it does vary. A "Feature" night gives the artist a fuller performance opportunity than is possible on a busy singers night.

you can watch the videos right here on this page, by clicking on any of the items in the scrollable list above, then clicking on the player.
November 2009 - slight change. You will find the player above may need an extra click to start to play the video. That's to fix a bug: Youtube was not correctly counting the number of views. (Number of views shown was lower than the actual number of views).
Note that there is a delay of a few minutes (or maybe hours) before youtube refeshes the statistics, so you may not see the view count change immediately.

The older videos (more than 40 of them) are still available, see the Brown Cow Livevideo website
