Well it is that time of year again - come present the committee with bouquets for doing what you think is right, and constructive feedback on what you think they could be doing better.
Consider joining the committee - no better way to get first hand knowledge of the joys and tribulations of running a folk club.
Consider volunteering to help on clubnights - extra willing hands with setup (arrive early), supper & packing up at the end of an evening are always welcome.
To vote at the AGM you MUST be a ‘financial’ member of the Titirangi Folk Music Club. If you are not sure of your financial status in this respect then please check with our treasurer Leanne Appleby via our contacts page or Phone 813 0608.

The Remarkables – named after the mountain range none of them have climbed – Neil Finlay on acoustic guitar, maestro Bryan Christianson on banjo & Pete Parnham on bassPete Parnham on bass & maestro Bryan Christianson on banjo, everybody sings, sometimes in harmony.
It started one Saturday afternoon with a guitar, a banjo, a bass, three mates and, well, a small measure of brown coloured throat tonic.
Next thing you know, the afternoon evaporated, the sun was sinking low and a whole new musical genre had evolved – bluegrasscountryswing.
So be prepared for a pleasant surprise when you hear The Remarkables and their treatment of familiar tunes and new favourites. Expect anything from bass slappin' fast country, to thoughtful ballads and swing banjo, seasoned with a sprinkling of bluegrass.
An informal ‘Singaround’ - ‘Open Mic’ without a Mic - A smaller group of people meet to share their songs and music.

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.
