Once a year songs about bells and baby Jesus are admitted to the Auckland Bluegrass club to mingle with all those other songs about broken love and such like.
But we can’t bask in these sentiments by ourselves, so Back Porch Bluegrass club from Hamilton are pitching in, and Whangateau Folk Club are sending a pickin’ delegation.
These visitors really mean something. Back Porch Bluegrass is forever linked with amazing Hamilton County Bluegrass Band, while Pipi Pickers are the heart of the Whangateau Folk Club. Expect some great picking.
Each of the three outfits will take turns to do a set of floor spots, but the real point is to pick and mix the fine musicians and see what comes out.
We locals even promise to let visitors go first at the delicious supper gifted by a generous donor. (Remember last year? Wow.)
Come and get a taste of the finest acoustic music. Our Christmas present to you is free admission, (but bring a few coins for the bonanza raffle which includes Kiwigrass tee shirts and tea towels).
