June Guests – Reverie and Gladstone Road
Member floor spot in June featuring Gladstone Road
“Gladstone Road” – the group takes its name from one of the earliest roads in the history of the Horowhenua area. And the group members’ musical interests have certainly followed many roads: Celtic, country, blues, traditional, instrumentals, bluegrass, alt country, and New Zealand songs. Expect a variety of folk, country, bluegrass and beyond.
This group has been forged in the music environment of Levin Folk Music Club – the place where their musical skills have been developed to the stage of polished music performances. A passion for music brings a variety of styles and multiple instrument use.
As well as being a musician, Han Roeters is a skilled restorer of damaged violins and has also completely built several violins himself.
Andrew Salter – vocals, 5 string banjo, acoustic guitar, mandolin
Anne Campbell – vocals, ukulele (tenor, banjo, and 6 string ukuleles), bodhran
Han Roeters – vocals, fiddle, ukulele (tenor, banjo, and 6 string ukuleles), recorder, tin whistle, mouth organ and bodhran

Benefit Fundraiser – SATURDAY, 10 DECEMBER 2016 – $10 TO RED CROSS
Folk 4 Kaikoura
FOLK 4 KAIKOURA
Folk for Kaikoura takes place at various venues around New Zealand on the 8-12th of December 2016. New Zealand Folk Musicians all over the country are organising a series of fundraising Concerts and collections to raise money for the Red Cross Earthquake Appeal.
Jo Sheffield, member of Levin Folk Music Club, was inspired to approach the folk music community to ask for help to raise funds towards supporting the victims of the devastating earthquakes in Kaikoura and surrounding districts. “It is amazing how quickly everyone sprang into action to help organise concerts, arrange venues & sound systems, and play for free” she said. “I am blown away by the overwhelming response and think that together, we can make a real difference”.
The Levin concert which is being organised by Jo, (with help from the LFMC and members) is on Saturday 10th December from 2pm to 5pm at Levin Memorial Hall (corners of Queen Street and Chamberlain Streets). Door sales are available and tickets are just $10 each with ALL proceeds going directly into the Red Cross Earthquake Appeal. Please come along and support all those affected by the devastating earthquake. We have a great line-up of local artists to entertain you, including Black-Eyed Suzie, Steve Poulton, Kevin Watson with Simon Burgess & Gill Allen, and Nigel Parry, as well as Wellington-based musicians Vic Manuel and Jim and Roni Perkins.
We look forward to seeing you on the day but if you can’t make it, you can also donate through our Give A Little Page (https://givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/folk4kaikoura ).
If you need more information, please contact Jo Sheffield on 021 205 9972.
