[Nz-folk] NZ-Folk Digest, Vol 38, Issue 23

[Sieffe La Trobe]

Hmmm ..  . got me wondering here. . . .we (Titirangi Folk Club) had Andy as guest a while ago and a whole 20 or so people turned up . . .now, was it a case of: (a) He is not well known locally, (b) people are jaded folkies (c) he ain't that relevant to the modern audience (d) dunno?
 
We lost money but that isn't what concerns me . . . he should have been much better patronised. 
 
Would Joni Mitchell have been more successful? Neil Young? Planxty?
 
Cheers, Sieffe
 
ps . .not that any of those would do tiny spots in Auckland! hahahaha! Except Neil . . .


 
 
 
Subject: [Nz-folk] Andy Irvine mini tour (Christchurch & Dunedin)



Andy Irvine is now on holiday in NZ and doing three concerts here - he kicked off with a great gig to a full house at Lepperton Bowling Club in Taranaki last night. 
 
He's also playing in Blenheim on Saturday 23 February and Christchurch on Sunday 24 February.  
 
Catch him if you can - he's in great musical form on guitar-bouzouki and mandolin, and as funny and enjoyable a performer as ever.
