Storyteller was guest

 

Yuri the Storyteller was the guest artist at the Troubadour Folk Club in the Woy Woy CWA Hall on March 8.

His classic and contemporary tales were complemented by local poets and musicians.

This is the third folk club performance night for the year.

It follows the energetic entertainment last month by the Wheeze and Suck Band. This group has become popular with Peninsula audiences, playing at the recent Australia Day celebrations, and at the Patonga Folk Festival last year.

The sell-out program in January had a Bob Dylan theme and set a high standard for the year's schedule.

The Sydney vocal trio Touchwood are the guest performers on April 12.

The Troubadour Folk Club is based on the Peninsula and also holds sessions where performers get together to share ideas and hone their skills.

The club is part of the Central Coast Bush Dance and Music Association which holds a monthly bush dance at East Gosford.

The next bush dance is on Saturday 23 March, and features the music of Currawong.

This band provides both excellent folk music and quality dance-calling to ensure a night of healthy enjoyment, according to the organisers.

To contact the folk club, phone Frank on 4341 4060. Inquiries about the bush dance can be directed to Robyn on 4344 6484.
