Back Porch Bluegrass Sunday 26 Feb 2012
Hello Bluegrassers
Write into your diaries, Sunday, February 26th , that’s when we have Back Porch Bluegrass.
This will be held at our regular venue, Silverdale Normal School Common Room, Silverdale Rd, Hamilton.
Bring your banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle etc, play some songs for the ‘whiteboard’ concert, enjoy performances by local and visiting musicians. The Back Porch Bluegrass Band will be on hand to help out anyone who wants to add some bluegrass accompaniment to their songs (if it’s something really complicated, you might need a chord chart!).
Our special guests this month will be The Remakables, a remarkable trio from Auckland featuring Bryan Christianson, Peter Parnham and Neil Findlay. They’ve visited with us previously and play some fine music. You can find a little more about them here (see attachments, hopefully).
For only $5 admission, you get an afternoon of memorable music, accompanied by a cup of tea, coffee and maybe a biscuit. Bring your friends, and let’s have a great time playing and listening to music.
We’ll start at 3.30pm with the Whiteboard concert, then finish up with a bit of a jam session ending at about 6.00pm.
Any queries, please feel free to ring me on (07) 856 3963

Thirsty Dog Folk Club 3 pm 19 Feb 2012
There are at least two great things about this venue:
1. You can have a go at open mic first – go see Swigger when you get there.
2. You can enjoy a decent pint of ale, and, if you want, a plate of chips.
Hope to see you there!

Llama Lounge Saturday 26th November 2011 – Get away from politics
While other people watched a bunch of has-been TV election commentators make prophesies based on flimsy information about, gee, whether the voters of Epsom believe in John Banks and other nonsense. We joined some friends and made some music in the politics free Llama lounge.
What a friendly place to play – Thanks Penny.
