Club Programme |
Following last season's successful trial using online bookings for guest artist nights at the Black Swan Inn we are now continuing to make these available.
Go to www.wegottickets.com and search under venue "York Black Swan" and you will find a list of forthcoming events or click on the links in the listings below.
Note that there are separate entries for Full Price and for Concessions for each event.
They charge you a simple 10% commission on the face value of your tickets and send you a booking reference rather than physically posting a ticket, meaning you can book until 6pm on the day of performance.
Please note that this new scheme only applies to club guest nights. Early Music Centre concert tickets will continue to be handled by the NCEM Box Office (with a few available for sale through the club as well), while Singers Nights will continue to be "pay-on-the-door" only events.

| The Waltzing Matilda No More Tour
Scottish born but long resident in Australia, Eric Bogle is one of the most influential folk songwriters of his generation. Numbers such as “No Man’s Land”, “Leaving Nancy”, “Now I’m Easy” and “The Band Played Waltzing Matilda” have become modern classics, sung by artists around the world, from Joan Baez, Billy Bragg and June Tabor down to countless amateur club singers.
Eric has announced that this summer’s visit to Britain will be his last UK tour, so this is your final chance to see him in our area and early booking is advised. Eric is accompanied by his long-term musical partner and fellow Scottish Australian John Munro on guitar and backing vocals.
