Welcome to the Tykes’ Stirrings Web Site!

An amalgamation of Tykes News (West Yorkshire) and Stirrings (South Yorkshire)
Tykes Stirrings is a quarterly print magazine about folk music, song and dance. It covers Yorkshire and surrounds, and is read by people as far afield as the US and Australia; even by one or two in Lancashire!

The last issue ever was published in December 2024 and covers up to the end of March 2025.

The online FiloFolk listings are a dynamically updated version of the TykeStirrings events listings and will continue. If you are a club or folk event organiser, please continue to keep our Filofolk maintainer at filofolk@tykesstirrings.org.uk fully informed about your activities.

Tykes Stirrings
Winter 2024 Issue

No 18: Winter ’24/25

Dear Reader,

Well, here we are – we’ve been through good times and bad times, (the good outweighing the bad by miles) and we’ve arrived at the terminus. We wish it could have been a different outcome, and that some young, folk music loving, enthusiastic team had filled the void – but no, here we are.

As you read through the mag, you’ll gather that we are sad, but determined to end with a colourful, content rich, edition. No fading out for us, no going gentle into that good night. The fullest, chockablock issue is now in your hands. We’re quite proud of it, and proud of Nigel, who has pulled together three luminaries – local (also national), national (also international) & international (Wowzers!) – to answer “where were you in ’62?”.

Folk music will carry on without us, but don’t forget us, we meant something, and we’re proud of that.

Kindest Regards,

Jim, Nigel & the whole TykesStirrings Team past and present.
