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, with a complimentary supper around 9pm. On concert nights guest performers, national or international, perform for us. On non-concert nights there is a theme (see the programme), 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.

MAY 10th
PETE TITCHENER A familiar name around the Australian folk scene, due largely to his work with Colcannon, Munro O’Callaghan Titchener and the great man himself, Eric Bogle. Audiences can expect a well balanced mix of self penned, thoughtful and humorous songs mixed with dubious witty banter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
JUNE 28th
NATHAN POWER Coming to us from Australia and borrowing inspiration from artists such as the Tallest Man on Earth, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen, Nathan Power explores a love of folk music to communicate stories loosely based on life experiences. Armed with a parlour guitar, this is folk music at its finest. “Laid back tales of an old soul with a guitar. Really delightful listening…” – Nkechi Anele (Triple J) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
JULY 19th
NIELS GEDGE All the way from Masterton, this singer-songwriter draws from country, blues, folk, Appalachian and gospel traditions. Many of his songs draw on the landscapes of Aotearoa and tells stories of life, and the echoes of lives past. “Niels voice is mostly as gentle as the caress of his fingers on the guitar strings, a laid-back vibe being the name of the game.“ NZ Musician ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
