Coming up at WBS
Saturday 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.

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.
