Auckland New Zealand
Whilst singing anything and everything from folk to Jazz, Country to Rock, she has always maintained her love for the traditional songs of her homeland Scotland, using her powerful, emotive voice to tell the stories and tales that draw you in and have you singing along.
Singing both solo and with her father Jack and siblings David and Thiea she has performed all over New Zealand for the past 40 odd years. Other collaborations have included very successful duos with Mike Moroney and Bob McNeill.
Life as a folk singer in New Zealand has always been a huge and integral part of Chris’s life and her repertoire is as varied as a Botanical Garden.
We are meeting from 7.30 now so we can get more songs in!
What is Folk Music? – You'll be amazed at what is covered by the heading Folk Music: from traditional finger in the ear to modern acoustic, soft lilting ballads to modern Folk Rock, the field is huge and there is a little bit in there for everyone.
We're a totally informal, small friendly group of people who like to sing and play music. 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 criticize, only support.

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.
