Female singer wanted

The Johnny Possum Band is on the hunt for a female singer to remake our ranks since our guitarist departed. Ideally we want a strong mid to low range voice with character and familiar with 2/3 part harmonies. If you have no formal singing training then this could be a plus as these songs suit a little roughness.

The singing is shared around so would be good if you also have some skills on a stringed instrument of some kind to keep you busy.

For info on the band: www.johnnypossum.com
Or email me
Bryan.e.peters@mwhglobal.co

And another Banjo Teacher needed - April 2013

I stumbled across your website and read a very similar advert to the one I wanted to place! I too would like to find a tutor who could teach my daughter to play the banjo. She plays other instruments, but I am struggling to find a tutor.
My email address is tbarns@xtra.co.nz

Fiddle/Violin Art

Date: N/A
Unique photos of Grace, the Fiddle & friends, on location in gardens, parks & unlikely places. Capturing the 'essence' of the different styles of music & escapades of a Fiddle.

Singing men, we want you!

Global Voices, a four-part choir of about 30 members, needs more tenors and basses to fill the gaps left by some recent departures. We meet on a Wednesday evening in Opawa, and our repertoire is a capella world song. You can see and hear more on our website, www.globalvoices.org.nz, and phone Jenny 382 4982 or John 021 1157344 to see about coming along to try us out.

Live Music for Contra Dance

Hi Musicians,
I'd like to get more live music at my regular monthly contra dances, and hope to attract your interest. In the USA where contra dancing is thriving, it is almost always done to live music. There are a wide range of musical styles that suit.

Please let me know if you are interested and I can keep in contact.

Cheers, Bill
