Concerts are held in the intimate surroundings at the German Canadian Club and generally are based on roots-based original and traditional music.

The Cuckoo's Nest Folk Club was originally formed in 1973 inspired by the British folk revival. Its aim was always to bring top level folk music perfomrers to London, as well as to provide a focus and inspiration for local folk music enthusiasts. The orginal club ran for 10 years (1973-83), meeting weekly at Luther House near Western University's east gate. In the summer of 1994, Alistair Brown (one of the of the orginal founders) and a stellar group of enthusiasts (john Simmons, Mark Hartwell, Syd Monteith, Bruce Curtis and Ian Davies) brought the club back to life in the fall of 1994. The Cuckoo's Nest had been presenting concerts in the warm and welcoming surroundings of Chaucer's Pub until its new location at the German Canadian Club. The concert season runs from September to May and over the past few seasons the Cuckoo's Nest has enjoyed its greatest success thanks to the support of our enthusiastic audiences and the amazing performers we have been able to present. A history of past performances is available on our website.
