Auckland New Zealand
As promised at the time, here are the Words and Music (76KB jpeg) to 1 of the songs from Kate Bramley's harmony workshop at the 2009 Auckland Folk Festival.
In the Starlight, in the starlight at the daylight's dewy close
When the nightingale is singing, his last love song to the rose
In the starlight, in the starlight, where the breezes softly play
From the glitter of our dwelling, we will softly steal away
Where the silvery waters murmur, by the margin of the sea,
In the starlight, in the starlight, we will wander gay and free.
Come my friends, take back your anger,
And let your sorrow's be no more
For we'll surely meet again
Upon some strange and foreign shore
Come my friend and take my hand
Heed not the Atlantic roar
And we'll meet again in our own Canaan.
And if our tired and lonely lives,
Run such a steady course apart,
And time our land cannot unite,
Then Canaan will rejoin our hearts.
Come my friend and take my hand
Fear not the Atlantic roar
And we'll meet again in our own Canaan.

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.
