WHERE & WHEN:

Bucks County Folk Song Society holds its regular monthly meetings at

Wrightstown Friends Meetinghouse
PA Rte 413 (Durham Rd.)
Wrightstown, PA

The meetinghouse is on the west side of the road, just south of the intersection with Penns Park Rd. It's about 3 miles north of Newtown and 1 mile south of Rte. 232. For an interactive map, click here: Map to Meetinghouse.

Meetings are normally held on the first Sunday of every month, but occasionally switch to the second Sunday when the first is on a holiday weekend. Check the calendar to be sure.

The festivities begin around 6:30 and end promptly at 10:00pm.

MEETING FORMATS:

Monthly meetings normally begin with one of two musical formats:
- Circle (usually 20-30 performers, once around) with song/story/dance presentations relating to a predetermined theme. Upcoming themes are listed in the calendar below. Click CIRCLE PHOTO GALLERY for a peek at a past circle meeting.
  OR
- Featured Performer or series of performers. Performers are usually BCFSS members, but occasionally we feature guests from neighboring societies. All performers volunteer their time and talents. Click FEATURE PHOTO GALLERY for a peek at a past feature meeting, but be prepared for a wait of a minute or so.

UPCOMING MEETING CALENDAR:

Here's what on the meeting calendar for the coming months:


PREVIOUS DATES	To give you a better picture of our activities, we list the musical features of our past meetings on a separate page. Click HERE.

November 7, 2021 Circle: Songs of the Sea	As with the previous theme, there is no shortage of material on this topic. Expect the selections to cover the waterfront (so to speak). We will have to wait and see whether we can again gather at the meetinghouse for a hybrid circle or stay strictly on Zoom.

December 5, 2021 Circle: Standing/Last Stand	First of all, "Stand By Me" comes to mind. Or maybe someone will dredge up "Please Mr. Custer". LOsts of other songs involve standing somewhere. We will have to wait and see whether we can again gather at the meetinghouse for a hybrid circle or stay strictly on Zoom.

January 2 or 9, 2021 Circle: Sitting	Since we just did "Standing", it follows that sitting should be next. It's been said that where you stand depends on where you sit, but that might be hard to turn into a song. You could be sitting on the dock of the bay or on top of the world. Lots of possibilities. But we will have to sit and wait to see whether we can again gather at the meetinghouse for a hybrid circle or stay strictly on Zoom.
