WE ARE BACK at the club (Theo Hall) on Friday, 25th September!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What: Palmerston North Folk Music Club.
Who: Anyone interested in playing, singing, or listening to folk music. Where: Theosophical Society Hall, 304 Church Street, Palmerston North, New Zealand. When: 8pm Friday night. How much: $5 public, $3 club members, FREE school-age kids & 'first-timers' - (extra on concert nights). We have no eftpos facilities, so it is cash only. Why: Because it's fun! The Palmerston North Folk Music club meets every Friday night at 8pm (7.30pm during the winter months of June to the end of August), with a complimentary supper around 9pm. On concert nights guest musicians, national or international, perform for us. These are top quality musicians and they always put on a great night!! We are very lucky to have them drop by... On non-concert nights there is a theme (see the "What's On" section of this site, or see the programme available in the pdf below), this is in a sing-around format, and everyone who comes along has the chance to perform (or request) a piece of music related to the theme, whether as a solo, as a small group, or with everyone. If you don't feel like performing yourself, then you are welcome to come along, sit back, and enjoy the music! Sometime after supper there's the opportunity for a general jam session. CONCERTS COMING UP... |
16th October @ 8pm - Wandrella
Come along for a wonderful concert by folk duo Gill and Kate, known as Wandrella.
Wandrella play a mix of clever "covers with a twist‟ and original songs which reflect their classical roots and eclectic musical influences.
Kate has played solo Celtic and classical guitar and has opened for the Arizona Smoke Review in the UK and Paul Obana Jones in NZ. She was influenced by the finger picking styles of Stefan Grossman and Gordon Giltrap. She also plays in the duo "String Fusion‟ with Bill Nicholson, recording an album in 2015.
Gill recorded her first album “Colour Outside the Lines” in 2004. She has played and recorded several songs with local musician Kevin Watson and in 2016 teamed up with local musician Simon Burgess
