It was bring a friend night at Beginners Playalong last night and Kerrie brought Julie along to join in. One of the most pleasing things of this group is that it provides opportunities for people to get in front of a microphone and sing and play an instrument in a safe and supportive environment. Like the saying goes, "from little things big things grow". We managed to get Chi Lin up on stage tonight and not only did he give a great rendition of I Can't Help Falling in Love with You, he also of his own accord got up to do back ups in Jambalaya. Julie gave an awesome rendition of Help (Farnham Version) Not an easy one to pull off and Sunil didn't need much encouragement to get up and play Walk of Life by Dire Straits. Our usual suspects Frank, Paul, Gavan, Kerrie, Deb, Lauchie, Marty and others entertained the group. Thanks to Kerrie and Marie for their videos. All in all a great night.

The Folkies made a splash at World Migratory Bird Day - Hobson’s Bay Wetlands Centre.. Marie Franze was kept busy at her art table with over 100 budding nature artists eager to capture our beautiful local wildlife on canvas. While Rohini Vij and Jackie Kerin - two of the Flyway Sisters - celebrated with stories and languages that connect us across oceans and continents - just like the birds. Oh… and club combos - The Inklings and the Ricolas were the cream on the cake!

When; Saturday the 17th of October at 6.30pm
Where; Newport Scout Hall, Market Street

Welcome to our beginner playalong family. This month we are encouraging you to bring a friend down to have a listen and enjoy the music. Let your friends know what you do on a Saturday night and maybe they will be inspired by you to take up music.

Attached below is the song list for this month. As always, we encourage you to bring a song you’d like to do as well and have a go at singing. Once you start, you’ll be hooked, I guarantee it.
