This month’s guests are Andrew and Kirsten London.
Andrew London is a musician based on the Kapiti Coast near Wellington, New Zealand. He is a songwriter and satirist and performs most often solo or duo (with Kirsten London on bass), or with the Andrew London Trio. His songs explore social and political themes and although humour and satire are very much to the fore, poignancy and pathos are often not far away. They play at festivals, functions, and venues all over New Zealand, but also make the occasional trip to Australia & Norfolk Island and have even played in Saudi Arabia.
They will play mostly original songs influenced by folk, blues, jazz and western swing genres. There will be a few from the recent stage musical ‘Let’s Talk About Me!’ which had its debut in Kapiti last September, and some from their latest album ‘Get Back To Work!’.
Doors open at 7:00 pm and the evening begins at 7:30 pm with a blackboard of performers. The guests perform after supper.
Admission, which includes a light supper, is $7 for members, $12 for non-members and $3 for students. Cash only (no eftpos facilities).
The venue is the Horowhenua Scottish Society Hall, 155 Bartholomew Road, corner Bartholomew Road and Middlesex Street, Levin.

With strong mountain vocals, wailing harmonies, clawhammer banjo and fiddle, the old haunting ballads and songs are brought to life.

“Their original material is presented with a unique blend of dulcimer, whistles, guitar, double bass and soaring counter-melodies.
“Their sound is raw and familiar, yet still manages to surprise. Each song is filled with dancing harmonies and country and blues-inspired picking, creating an old-time vibe.”
“Butter Wouldn’t Melt sing of New Zealand history, long-lost lovers, fairy tales and distant serial-killer relatives.”

Burgess and Allen started singing together as a duo over seven years ago, after a chance encounter at Levin Folk Club. Combining their different musical backgrounds to forge a harmonic entity that is invigorating as it is diverse. Simon and Gill have featured performing together at clubs, weddings, festivals, and cafe venues here and overseas. Their material is drawn from all genres, they sing both popular gems and lesser known treasures with soothing assonance and melodic strength.
Gill started her musical career at 9 years old as an accomplished junior classical pianist. Her adoption of the guitar at a later age led to a desire to write her own material and present it in public. She completed her CD ‘Colour outside the Lines’ in 2012, where she lyrically paints emotionally candid musical canvases. Simon’s multi-instrumentalist versatility has seen him teaching, singing, playing, and recording in both large and small ensembles on a variety of different instruments, limited only by how many he can carry to the gig.
Their song choices reflect their aspirations to present quality arrangements and meaningful concert experiences for their audiences. This includes a range of Americana and Folk or Contemporary music but can include Gill’s contemplative compositions or Simon’s topical ramblings. They both enjoy expanding musical experiences through ongoing collaborations and associations with other artists.
The folk music club meets at the Horowhenua Scottish Society Hall, Bartholomew Road. Doors open at 7:00 pm and the evening begins at 7:30pm with a blackboard, followed by supper and then the guest artist. Admission, which includes a light supper, is $5 for members, $10 non-members and $3 for students. Cash only (no eftpos facilities).
Black Eyed Susie is Kapiti Coast-based violin, guitar, and vocals duo, Ramon Oza and Susan Colien Reid. Susan and Ramon have been performing their unique blend of blues Celtic and funk since 2006. They have spent 15 years weaving their own sound from Ramon’s R&B Funk guitar and Susie’s Classical / Celtic / Rock violin.
Ramon and Susie write songs and have supported many National and International artists. They love to share good music and make it accessible to all. They regularly perform at Paraparaumu Market which is one of their favourite places to play, bringing upbeat and warm sounds to the street. People can keep up with the duo www.blackeyedsusieduo/facebook.com
The club opens at 7:00 pm and the blackboard begins at 7:30 pm. The duo will appear after supper. Admission, which includes a light supper, is $5 for members, $10 non-members and $3 for students. Cash only (no eftpos facilities).
Usually the 4th Friday of the month is Club Night but on the 4th Friday of August (the 26th) the Club will be holding its AGM. The AGM, which begins at 7:00 pm, is where you can hear what will be happening to the club for the following year.
