Auckland New Zealand
Wellington singer-songwriter Helen Dorothy released her first CD Album "The Going Away" in 2009 to great applause and acoustic/folk music lovers in the region have been spellbound as Helen's artistry has matured and developed since her arrival on the scene a few years ago.
Her songs are beautiful windows into things she has noticed about the New Zealand landscape, its wildlife and people.... Poignant stories of hardship and plain human suffering captured in some of the most heart-rending songs that will have the toughest amongst us swallowing hard.
Dorothy is a master of her craft, and as well as playing her guitar in haunting tunings that few can mimic, she draws in a wide range of musicians in their own right to add to the musical journey.
Ian Bartlett hosts this workshop for players from beginners to advanced to come and share their knowledge.

The Club was conceived in 1965 when the Clancy Brothers didn't come and someone had the astounding idea of having a sing-a-round thus transforming an audience into a folk group. Formally established in 1966 we're still going strong.
