About

It is with much pleasure and anticipation that The Folk Club hosts our cousins from The Christchurch Musician’s Club, to put on a musical variety performance showcasing a selection of local talent.

Four separate acoustic-based acts will deliver a veritable banquet of tunes across the musical spectrum, from smooth jazz through to pop, blues, country, classics, originals and quirky numbers you wouldn’t expect:

“Ralph Woodham”
Ralph (Piano/Vocals) is currently the President of the Christchurch Musicians Club and has performed for many years. Although his main interest is in the jazz idiom, he will be playing and singing mostly in a contemporary style. Expect a slow Joe Cocker number, a Little River Band number and a hint of jazz.

“Epicenta Duo”
Guitarist Roger Hanson and vocalist Celine Graham are a duo who will perform bluesy soulful songs from Amy Winehouse and other popular artists. They are a part of the local band Epicenta, who are a popular covers band in Canterbury and North Canterbury. Roger has been playing guitar for many years, performing across different genres, in concerts, clubs, hotels and studios. Celine has a dedicated local following and brings her superb international performance- and recording vocal prowess (having had a top 10 original single in Holland) to delight audiences.

“The Antennas Duo”
The Antennas are a recently formed duo of Anthony Smit and Arnie Lafeur. They have been refining themselves into a capable and sort-after acoustic act. The two guitarists have been gaining popularity with an attractive selection of songs, solid vocals and a blend of rhythm and lead guitar that combines to produce a big sound.

“The Meaniez Duo”
Guitarist Brian Clarke and bassist Brent Cain are 2/3rds of Otautahi Pub Rockers, The Meaniez Band. When not playing with the full band, they are often moonlighting on the busking scene in a stripped-down acoustic format, playing stuff unusual and well off the beaten track. Sometimes they could almost be mistaken for a comedy act masquerading as musicians, but they’re talented, fun and always entertaining.
