An evening of taking turns to share music and songs around the circle, joining in when you can, with harmonies on your instrument or voice. Participate or listen. The choice is yours.
We’re a totally informal, small friendly group of people who like to sing and play music. This is a good place for experienced musicians to meet up and enjoy playing together.
If you do not sing or play and would like to then here you’ll find encouragement. There is never any pressure and you may wish to visit a few times to get confidence or you may already be confident, it does not matter, no one will criticise, only support.

Bob McNeill & Emily Roughton – Saturday 9th November 2024
Kindred musical spirits since the world was middle-aged, two of New Zealand’s best known musicians take the stage together for a rare live run through the wealth of music they’ve recorded together. Their shared love of the beauty that makes us listen to music will be to the fore as they play tunes from their Spanish-American collaboration Project Feijoa, Bob’s Lost Stars solo album and a few choice covers. They’ll show us their tunes connection too… one of the sweetest combinations you’ll hear.
Doors open 7.30PM for an 8.00PM start.
Floorsingers First half.

Members $10.00,

The Penman Family – Saturday 14th December 2024
The Penman Family consists of a relatively connected bunch of people namely….
- Jack Penman – Dad/Grandad
- Chris Penman – Daughter/Sister/Mother
- David Penman Son/ Brother/Uncle
- Thiea Bell Daughter/Sister/Aunty
- Campbell Maydon Grandson/Son/Nephew
They have been singing together for around 50 years, give or take a decade or two, singing anything and everything from The Banana Boat Song to The Battle of Sowerby Bridge, Delilah to Down where the Drunkards Roll and beyond.
They have a been present at most folk festivals in NZ and beyond in different combinations over the years – and can usually be found late at night belting out traditional and contemporary unaccompanied ballads and songs.
Coming from a Scottish background, they love nothing more than good rousing choruses and songs that speak with social conscience.
Their forte is acapella singing (unacompanied) utilising their fine vocal chords and they will endeavour to share their knowledge and love of the songs and times of which they sing.
Doors open 7.30PM for an 8.00PM start.
Floorsingers First half.
Admission
Members $10.00,
