Folkie Stuff
Minutes of the 2020 AGM can be found here!
THE AGM! – OUT with the old committee – IN with the new – though they’ll probably be the same people – YOU could become one of them – worth thinking about……
The AGM will be surrounded by A FLOORSINGERS NIGHT, including a few MINI-SPOTS from AL & BEV, HELEN DOUGLAS & FRIENDS, and BEVIS ENGLAND.
Some great music guaranteed. 2 halves of the best in Auckland Folk Music joined into a very musical whole.
Doors open 7.30PM for an 8.00PM start
FREE ADMISSION!
An evening of taking turns to share music and songs around the circle, joining in when you can, with harmonies on your instrument or voice. Participate or listen. The choice is yours.
We’re a totally informal, small friendly group of people who like to sing and play music. This is a good place for experienced musicians to meet up and enjoy playing together.
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.
Ronél Hunter is a Singer Songwriter and a busy Mother of three. Originally from South Africa, Ronél played at the local folk festivals, before she settled in New Zealand in 2009, and married her Kiwi husband in 2011.
At heart, Ronél is a storyteller. She has the ability to step into a song and to become a part of the story, as she takes the audience with her on a beautiful journey discovering the heart of each song.
Ronél writes songs about real life and is a firm believer in being real and being yourself. Her focus is on the story a song has to tell and the emotion behind it, rather than sticking to a genre.
Ronél will be releasing her Debut Album this month, promoting it with a tour around New Zealand.

Alert level 1 not withstanding (good word that) we’re doing our June meetings via Zoom still.
Tonight you can be with us on Zoom again!
Screens “open” at 19.30 for chats and intro, and for singers to declare their intention to sing to MC Cathy Munro.
Music kicks off at 8.00PM – Usual story, floorspots comprising 2 songs, max 10 minutes, you’ll have the focus for the duration of your spot, rest of attendees muted.
Ronél Hunter will look in, in advance of her show next month (back in the hall!)
We’ll be UN – muting everybody after each song, give you all a chance to clap, cheer, stamp your feet and holler, and generally show your appreciation in the traditional manner.
We reserve the right to cut short a floorspot if the quality of a performers internet connection isn’t up to it. We’ve discovered Zoom works best for music if tell it to use ‘Original Sound’, scroll down to ‘Using Zoom’ for more about this.
NO BREAK – we won’t stop for a cuppa or other brief interruption – you can probably still get your own refreshments if needed and still keep one ear and eye on what’s going on at the club. We reckon this still leaves plenty of time at the beginning and end of the evening for chat and catching up.
So it’s floorsingers all the way down. Or wall to wall if you prefer.
Then at some point late in the evening, when the last song has been sung and the last chat had, we all hit ‘Leave Meeting’ and are magically transported back into our separate realities:- no chairs to put away, no long drive home.
Here are more details on using Zoom, if you still need ’em.
