Is it a performance? is it a jam? Is it a singaround? Is it a session? Is it a celebration of Brian Epstein first meeting with The Beatles on this day in 1961? - Yes it is a bit of all of those (well maybe not the last one, but many Beatles songs are at least on their way to becoming 'Folk' so that'll be fine too), but it will be folk. In all its glory. Precisely which folk genres will show up depends on who shows up, so come along with your voice, instrument, etc for a full on participatory folk event.
An evening of our kind of music in the heart of Titirangi Village.
This dynamic Anglo/Irish duo impressed so much at our 2014 Christmas party, that we decided we simply had to have them back for 2015.
Conor and Swigger first teamed up some 30 years ago back in Leicestershire England. The musical partnership formed back in 1985 has endured well, surviving a change of hemispheres and an Interesting business venture. Some of the songs they perform reflect their backgrounds and social leanings, Swigger's English working class and Conors Irish heritage make for a broad mixture of songs played on guitar and banjo with vocals. This time they will be performing more seasonal fare and maybe having a stab at humour.

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.
