1 PENINSULA FOLK CLUB BANKSIA BULLETIN SEP 2018 The spring is sprung, the grass is riz. I wonder where the boidie is. They say the boidie s on the wing. But that s absoid. The wing is on the bird. WELCOME TO SPRING FOLKS!!! OCT 7th..GRANDSONS OF THE PIONEERS Having all come from a background of playing in bands for a combined total of about 160 years, the Grandsons came together initially to have a social pick together on weekends, enjoying playing and singing songs with a lean towards country and in particular, traditional Western Cowboy musc. They eventually built up a repertoire of songs which featured four part harmony vocals accompanied by acoustic guitars. Leo suggested recording the songs in his home studio which result in the product this cd. So sit back, relax, go back in time and enjoy the harmonious singing and picking of The Grandsons of The Pioneers. PETER PAUL AND MARY THEME For our October Club Night, we have decided to revive the old idea of having a Theme for Spot Acts. So we will be asking all our Spot Acts to play at least ONE song recorded by the legendary folk trio, Peter Paul and Mary WORKSHOP.. In line with the theme for the night, new Committee member Steve Begley will lead a guitar workshop in which participants will learn two instrumental parts which make up the great PP & M song asoaling. Hopefully, they will play it for us to start the night SPOT ACTS If you want to get a spot on the bill, you need to call our new Spot Acts Co-Ordinator, Peter Bucci His contact no is JAM SESSION As always, our ever-popular regular Jam Session will go ahead from 5.30 in the Bar Area...Come early and join in the fun!!
