Coming up at WBSSaturday 13 February 8:00 pm - Concert featuring Jackie Bristow, Lauren Thomson and Tami Neilson What do you get when you mix the winner of this years’ Tui Award, a Silver Scroll nominee and the winner of an International Songwriting Competition? A divine and potent cocktail called “Saints and Sinners”. Internationally acclaimed female songsmiths Tami Neilson, Lauren Thomson and Jackie Bristow will be swapping songs and stories in front of audiences on a 12-date national tour in February 2010. This writers-in-the-round show will be an intimate acoustic evening, three solo artists joining forces on stage and sharing the experiences that inspired their songs, from opening for Johnny Cash and Art Garfunkel to touring from Canada to Europe, the USA to Japan. Drawing comparisons with Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Patty Griffin and Roy Orbison, these women bring 3 unique voices together for a rare collaborative show. see Jackie's MySpace Lauren's MySpace Tami's MySpace for song samples and more information on Jackie, Lauren and Tami. Friday 19 February 8:30 pm - Society night featuring Catherine BB Bowness & Alex Borwick What do you get if you get two banjos in the same room? Alex and BB play banjo is one answer of many. By combining the 5-string banjo and the Irish tenor banjo, BB Bowness and Alex Borwick have created a sound that calls upon their musical backgrounds including Bluegrass, Celtic, Jazz, and even Classical. They have proven that it IS possible to play two banjos in tune with each other, and they have even produced a few original compositions, which are undoubtedly a result of their varied influences. Sunday 7th March 8:00pm - Concert featuring Richard Adams and Nigel GavinSoon after their concert last year many asked when they'd be back. Well here the are! $20, $15 members or children. Friday 19th March 8:30pm - Society night featuring Alistair & Catriona CuthillA dynamic duo - Catriona has mastered the frailing banjo with Alistair's brilliance on mandolin and fiddle. $10 members or children.
