For Beginners, Learners, Pros and Accompaniments
We get together every Wednesday except school holidays at a local hall. We welcome new members from beginners to the more experienced. Guitar & Bass players are welcome.
Many are listed at the bottom of this webpage. Other Tutorials and group charts are sent to members of this group. To improve ones skills. it is desirable that members practice at least 5mins a day.
The groups first meeting was held on the 26th February 2019 - The session was positively received and formulated this initial approach. Enquire to join above.
A feature of our meetings is having a special guest perform a song and lead the group with another favourite.
The 10th August our special guest was Tim who played the electric bass on "Let it be" and then took us through the same song on Ukulele. Then everyone joined in with the George Harrison composition "Here comes the Sun". Garry and Tim played the Riffs in the song.
The group meets every Wednesday. Occasionally we have an on stage performance by individual members of the group. On the 7th Sept, Fay and John performed "Any dream will do" and 21st Sept Kath and Jinnty with
"There is a Tavern in the town". Fabulous individual performances. The historical context for each song from Fay and Jinnty added another perspective to the renditions. For the 28th Sept we had Lorraine and Ben leading the Max Merrit hit song "Slipping away".
Our guest for a June 2022 meeting was Seff who took us through the famous song "Pepeha" by the famous NZ Band Six60 with lyrics in English and Māori. This song, most NZ school children & teenagers will know as it is regularly performed.
The meeting of 27 July we had John and Michelle as our Special guests who performed "Lyin' Eyes" by the Eagles with the rest of us singing the Chorus. Another Song they brought to the session was "Last thing on my mind." Our last meeting in August we were blessed with sisters Lorraine and Maggie. Their solo Country style item was the 1957 song "Geisha Girl" originally by Frank Locklin. We joined in with their other choice, "Rhythm of the Rain"
