This is subject to no adverse changes to the current Covid-19 level requirements ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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.
