This idiosyncratic five-piece has become a legend throughout the
land and after more than twenty years is still going strong, playing most
recently at Auckland Folk Festival 2019 and Luminate 2019. The secret of
their enduring strength lies in the astounding musicianship of every
band-member, their tightly wound mesh of instrumental and vocal harmonies, their
exhilarating ‘beyond klezmer'” repertoire and their enormous drive and
infectious rhythms.
An evening of taking turns to share music and songs around the circle, joining in when you can, with harmonies on your instrument or voice. Participate or listen. The choice is yours.
We’re a totally informal, small friendly group of people who like to sing and play music. This is a good place for experienced musicians to meet up and enjoy playing together.
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 criticise, only support.
Doors open 7.30pm for a 7.30pm Start Admission $3
We are here. At the bottom of Titirangi Beach Road, just beyond the car park.
We’ve swapped Friday Folk and Club Night again, to make way for this exciting event. We couldn’t turn down an opportunity to hear these 2, even if it did mean more club-night juggling.
JOHN EGENES
John Egenes
Against the backdrop of his fine guitar playing, John Egenes pulls together musical styles from his background as a studio session player and road musician and plugs them into a mix all his own. His music weaves a tapestry of Americana, rich in country & folk, bluegrass & contemporary songwriting, as this veteran road warrior takes us with him on trips through musical landscapes, telling stories that shine with the light of his humour, insights and quirky multi-instrumental figures.
Egenes brings his set to the stage with songs of buckaroos and railyards, tales of lost love and life that take you from the American southwest to the land of the long white cloud. Armed with a guitar, a mandolin, or any instrument he can get his hands on, he explores the nooks and crannies that lie hidden within our lives. His dry humour and tasteful licks may find their way into yours, and you just might catch yourself singing one of his songs long after seeing him perform.
DONNA DEAN
Donna Dean
Donna Dean is a Tui award winning singer-songwriter. Her lyrics deal with the human condition making her live performances deeply moving, at time heartbreaking and ultimately inspirational. Her creativity has been likened to that of Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. Her voice has been labelled ‘haunting’, ‘heavenly’ and ‘mesmerising’.
An award winning feature length documentary film of her life was a huge hit at the NZ Docedge Film Festival in 2016 and has since been aired on Maori TV and the Winnipeg Aboriginal Film Festival Canada, to great acclaim.

As we’ve changed the night for Friday Folk this month, we might go the whole hog and change the format as well, and make tonight a JAM SESSION – to be advised nearer the time..

Clare Senior & Nick Johnston brandishing instruments

voice, allied with Nick’s well crafted songs which span subjects from
all over the world and all throughout history.

sometimes all in the same song.

Large stage presence, honest banter, famed voice and great choice of songs have been known to make hardened outback diggers cry into their Coopers. That’s what the Auckland Folk Festival publicity said about him and we’re not going to argue.
Originally from Australia, now from Hawke’s Bay, Danny was a big hit at the recent AFF and we’re sure he’ll prove just as big a hit with us this evening.
Madeline Beasley and Bill Morrison
2 musicians who have been regular features of the Auckland Folk Music scene for some time, recently they’ve started playing as a duo, and we’re very glad to have them open for Danny tonight.
Doors open 7.30pm for an 8.00pm Start. Admission – limited to 50 persons. $15 – Pre-Registration Recommended. Contact Tricia Lee on 818 5659 to book your place.
