February Funky Folk Night In Waipu

Alistair Brown is on his 8th tour of NZ and is coming through Northland. Alistair is a Scottish Folk singer Born in Scotland and now living in Cornwell. Check out his Bio, it is intensive. Alistair's performances cover the field from big ballads, comic ditties, songs of struggles (usually unsuccessful) against temptation, odes to conviviality and songs of unashamed sentimentality, to outrageously funny stories from a master of the art - all this accompanied by anglo concertinas and button accordion. With his style of music it will be like a homecoming in our Scottish settlement of Waipu. https://www.alistairbrown.com

Joined by Whangarei local Duo the 'Holy Mackerals', who played at our Medievil night last year. This duo plays striking folk melodies from ireland, USA, Nordic countries, and more. Bryan Owens plays cittern and fiddle, and Mark Sanders plays uilleann pipes and whistles. Both share
their passion for traditional folk music by teaching weekly workshops and hosting live sessions in Whangarei. This night will be a ripper, prepare to dance and smile.
