Richard and Karen Concert
Richard Dingwall at the Palmerston North Folk ClubWith Karen Munro & Hugh Dingwall
May 23rd, 7.30pm $10 Richard Dingwall had a growing reputation as a writer of engaging and innovative songwriting. Titles like Driftwood Cafe, written in Punakaiki, and ‘72, HQ, Holden Kingswood have been picked up by other musicians. Many of his other songs such as his ballad about the 1879 Kaitangata mining disaster have been greatly admired by audiences in Otago and Manawatu. In 2019 his children’s song Hum was selected by APRA for inclusion on a CD representing the best new songs of the previous two years. With his band of supporting musicians, The Wilding Pines, Richard was a featured guest at the Canterbury Folk Festival. The group have also been guest artists at the Dunedin and Christchurch Folk Clubs and performed as special guests at the Cardrona Folk Festival. A live recording of one of their performances can be heard on Bandcamp For this concert Richard has recruited the fiddle player and songwriter Karen Munro. His son Hugh on bass completes the trio. https://richarddingwall.bandcamp.com/album/telegraph-road What: Palmerston North Folk Music Club.

The Palmerston North Folk Music club meets every Friday night at 7.30pm, with a complimentary supper around 9pm. Guest artist concerts start at 8pm. 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.

Our intended progamme is on the What's On page. The scheduled events may change as Covid conditions change but we thought we'd best put a plan in place and be flexible where necessary
