The Penman Family consists of a relatively connected bunch of people namely….
Jack Penman – Dad/Grandad
Chris Penman – Daughter/Sister/Mother
David Penman Son/ Brother/Uncle
Thiea Bell Daughter/Sister/Aunty
Campbell Maydon Grandson/Son/Nephew
They have been singing together for around 50 years, give or take a decade or two, singing anything and everything from The Banana Boat Song to The Battle of Sowerby Bridge, Delilah to Down where the Drunkards Roll and beyond.
They have a been present at most folk festivals in NZ and beyond in different combinations over the years – and can usually be found late at night belting out traditional and contemporary unaccompanied ballads and songs.
Coming from a Scottish background, they love nothing more than good rousing choruses and songs that speak with social conscience.
Their forte is acapella singing (unacompanied) utilising their fine vocal chords and they will endeavour to share their knowledge and love of the songs and times of which they sing.

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.

Kindred musical spirits since the world was middle-aged, two of New Zealand’s best known musicians take the stage together for a rare live run through the wealth of music they’ve recorded together. Their shared love of the beauty that makes us listen to music will be to the fore as they play tunes from their Spanish-American collaboration Project Feijoa, Bob’s Lost Stars solo album and a few choice covers. They’ll show us their tunes connection too… one of the sweetest combinations you’ll hear.

From Gosport, Portsmouth and Brighton via the Red Lion, the Hand in Hand, somewhere south of Cape Horn and Galbraith’s, Ian is back solo at his “home” club of Titirangi.
After the exhausting journey and eventually emerging from his folkie closet into the folk scene at the 2000 Auckland Folk Festival, he has become a seasoned performer with groups such as Thursday, Westumbria, Supersheep and most recently Celtic Ferret.
Known as the windbag, he plays pretty much anything that can be blown (including bottles!) Ian also plays instruments that require being hit, shaken, rattled but never rolled.
He will be here at Titirangi breathing new life into songs and tunes from his British roots, stuff long buried in his repertoire.
Bring along your voices to join him for an evening at Titirangi as he meanders along a musical jaunt of songs, tunes and stories tall and short.
