House Concert - 4th September 2010

Our next event is a House Concert on Saturday, 4th September.  It will take place in Landsdale, north of the river.  The line-up will include:

Robert Zielinski (Stafford) - fantastic traditional fiddler
Ellie Wilkie - English humourous poet
Take 3 (aka Jean Wilson, Anne Cormack and Fiona Ferguson) performing traditional and contemporary Scottish Folk
Patrick Gethin - another humourous versifier,
Jane and Robert - madrigal singing duet
and several of the usual suspects.

Tickets are $10 each and can only be obtained by ringing Karen Ford on 9303 4204 or 0439 844 024. As this is a house concert, numbers are limited and you may like to bring a chair with you in case! Refreshments will be available during the interval.

Little Folk for Little Folk - Children's Concert

The annual Children's Concert was held at the Irish Club on Friday, 6th August and it was the best one yet.  The performers were all terrific - talented and confident as well as being generous to enough to donate their time and talents to a worthy cause.  The grand sum of $2,120 was raised, bringing the total raised for Cancer Research to $65,000 - a great effort by all concerned and a special thanks to Sean Doherty and the Irish Club for their hard work .
