Auckland New Zealand
Prominent in the NZ folk scene since the '70s, Jean has performed solo and in many groups over the years, current ones being Supersheep, The Reid Holland Project and a duo with her daughter Andrea.
A headline guest at the 2008 Auckland Folk Festival, Jean is acclaimed as one of NZ folk music's top female vocalists. She is originally from Glasgow and much of her music is of Scots origin and influence.
Expect a varied mix of traditional, contemporary and original songs, and the musical support of Andrea and a company of friends.
Well worth a trip out in the midwinter cold, to where you can be assured of a warm welcome and an evening of folk music at its finest.
An informal ‘Singaround’ - ‘Open Mic’ without a Mic - A smaller group of people meet to share their songs and music.
So bring some friends – bring family – bring youngsters – bring strangers; even bring university professors, to join in a social evening, with plenty of fun and music, beside the crackling fire.
Between the 10 rounds of questions we’ll have music from our floor singers to keep you entertained while the scores are totted up.
Rounds comprise the following categories with five questions in each category:–
There will be some easy questions and some harder ones, and some questions where it might help if you had a youngster on your team.
We are looking to get at least 10 teams of six people to compete for the title "Supreme Champions of Trivia" and they will become immortalised in TFMC history.
There will be spot prizes throughout the evening with the "Supreme Champions" picking up the "Main Prize" which will not be trivial.
All you have to do is:-
Give your team a name; the more outlandish and folk connected the better e.g. the Outlandish Knights.
Booking early is advised. Floor singers are encouraged to provide the additional entertainment between rounds.
To assist us with the organisation it would be helpful for us to know how many teams and people to expect so please, please, please let us know as soon as you can.
If you know of somebody or some organisation or business who may be willing to donate a prize then please let Ian know. Donors will be advertised on the Sponsors Board and in our Club literature.
Ian can be contacted on 09 813 2305 or by the form below.
The venue for this extravaganza is the Titirangi Beach Hall (where else!!?) doors will be open as usual at 7.30pm and the quiz will start at 8pm. Entry is $5pp for all.

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.
