Beverley Young – Saturday 14th May 2022

Beverley Young (with Bodhran)

Beverley Young has put together a top-class set from her extensive repertoire  of songs to enthrall and entertain us tonight.

Her material will be  mostly from British and Irish traditions, with maybe a sprinkling of trad-style American country added, and a little from New Zealand for good measure. Expect tales of roguish behaviour, work and hardship and love and loss — traditional songs that prove nothing really changes through the years.

Beverley is a long time singer and lover of folk song. She honed her style at the Devonport folk club, has been a favourite performer at Titirangi folk club over the years, and has performed at venues all over the country. She reflects that she has had the good fortune to be able to share the stage along the way with her idols Martin Carthy and Andy Irvine, among others, at festivals and folk clubs around New Zealand, which Beverley regards as her biggest thrill.

She has recorded three albums, the first of which, Bushes And Briars, won the New Zealand Folk Album award.

Beverley will be joined by husband Al Young who will be playing back up on guitar and dobro and maybe a little banjo, and working hard for his money!

So it will be a cool and laid back night at Titirangi. Beverley is looking forward to singing for you, and to having the pleasure of your company. See you there!

Hanna & Harry – Saturday 9th April 2022

Note:- No Club Night in the Beach Hall tonight, instead we’ll be getting a live concert from Hanna & Harry live streamed
HERE – https://fb.me/e/1tuFYPYBG
or on the TFMC Facebook page!!!

Here is Hanna & Harry’s Facebook Page

Same time – 8:00PM start – different place.

Hanna & Harry

Pairing traditional tunes from Hanna Wiskari Griffith’s native Sweden with new tunes influenced by Harry Champion’s English & Celtic heritage, Hanna & Harry weave soprano sax and acoustic guitar through polska and reel – highlighting musical connections between Scandinavia and the British Isles and expanding on a conversation that likely started hundreds of years ago.

Hanna Wiskari Griffiths has toured NZ extensively with Habbadam (DEN/SWE) and Goodland Trio (SWE), and performs as one third of  Across The Great Divide (NZ). She is an Ockham Collective artist-in-residence, and coordinates the NZ branch of Ethno, a global network that encourages young people to explore and share their culture through music.

Harry Champion is a recovering pop muso, having worked as a session musician for Anika Moa, The Feelers, Tama Waipara, Ruby Frost, Zowie, and many others. He was brought up immersed in the Auckland folk scene and writes jigs while his children are trying to get to sleep.

Celtic Ferret

Fresh from not being guests at the sadly Covid-cancelled Wellington Folk Festival, Celtic Ferret are relieved to be unlocked, loaded and primed to fire off some of the songs from their second album “A Few Miles Together” which they will launch at their home club of Titirangi.

They will bring some with them because they are really quite proud of it and you can buy it for $20 and start off your Christmas shopping!

Celtic Ferret are Jean Reid and Ian Bartlett whose repertoire is steeped in the folk tradition.

They paint evocative musical pictures of gruesome deaths, riots, crimes, love and loss, customs and characters all woven with earthy harmonies and thoughtful instrumentation – and a touch of humour! If only history had been taught this way at school!

They have been guests at numerous festivals and clubs around New Zealand and are happy to be at TFMC at last.

Whet your appetite for the gig and the album with some snippets on the launch page at:-
