Every year at your Canterbury Festival the lads from the band not called Shiner host a gathering that follows a theme. It's a chance to dress up and have some fun. It's held over the evening meal break on Saturday night before the Barn and Contra dance. This year the theme is 'GYPSIES, TRAMPS and THIEVES'.

Christchurch Folk Music Club

Welcome to the Christchurch Folk Music Club.

Come and join us at the Irish Society Hall, 29 Domain Terrace, Spreydon (Map) on Sunday afternoon. Doors are open 7.00pm, and performances begin promptly at 7.30 pm. The club is a "listening club", which means that talking is discouraged while the performers are on, but is encouraged before the act, during the break and after the show. Please note that there is no eftpos available at the hall.

Visitors are welcome, and we welcome folk members visiting from other clubs. We have reduced rates for students with ID cards. If you enjoy coming along, we encourage membership, which entitles you to reduced door charges and the Hear-Ye, a newsletter mailed out regularly with club goings-on, email reminders, and discounts at Music Works.

The club is run by a committee of volunteer members. They are all pretty approachable, so speak to a committee member if you have any questions or concerns, or if you think you might be interested in getting more involved. Even small jobs like setting out or putting away the chairs at the end of the night are important, and are a good way to become a part of the team that keeps the club running.

We keep coming back because we like being here. Come join us, make new friends, and best of all, enjoy the music!

A note from our president ... prez says

And a thank you to our sponsors, who support us and make things a little easier ...

Finally, don't forget about our library of books and music.
