What's happening in the Folk Choir?

Thursday 5 September is the final night for term three
We will be having fun with some chorus songs, and rehearsing the three songs we are taking out for the night on Wednesday 11 September to the Red Hill Folk Club. There'll be hot cuppas and hot singing!

Then we're having a three week break so we can fit in:
• 11 September: Folk Choir's floorspot at Red Hill Folk Club. Club starts about 7.30pm, at the Red Hill Community Sports Club, Fulcher Road, Red Hill, next to the Broncos' Leagues Club. We're on about 8.

• 13-15 September: Neurum Creek Festival. The Wish List, featuring The Folk Choir's Nicole Murray and Emma Nixon, with three special guests from the Folk Choir (Rebecca Wright, Alexa Sheppard and Naomi Rowland) will be playing at 7pm on Friday 13 Sept. Earlier that afternoon, Alexa and Naomi are debuting their new duo, Fiddlesque, in the blackboard concert. It's all happening at Neurum Creek, which is 12km down Neurum Road from Woodford township, Sunshine Coast Hinterland. This great little festival is full of enjoyable acts, and chances to sing and play. www.neurumcreekfestival.com.

• 21 September: The Mount Tamborine Celtic Concert and Ceilidh, a big night of celtic music and the chance to shake a leg! Featuring The Wish List, Rebecca Wright and Donald McKay, and Mark Cryle and the Civil Union in the concert, we then hand over to The Ceilidh Clan for a true Scottish and Irish ceilidh, with dances called by Donald McKay and Davydd McDonald. Loads of fun! Doors open 6pm, BYO picnic supper, all inclusive price $20 grownups, $5 kids. Book with Emma at emlnixon@optushome.com.au
