Loads of laughs at folk club

 

Friday, August 16, at the Troubadour Folk Club in Woy Woy was a successful night with loads of laughs.

Arch Bishop and John Grenenger teamed up to form a comedy duo delivering a wide range of humorous and witty songs and poems.

Comedy floor spots were presented by members and two visiting poets.

The audience was in good form and eager to join in the choruses.

The evening was recorded by Rob Willis for the National Library in Canberra.

Next month, the Troubadour will be bringing the meeting night forward by one week to the first Friday night, September 6, due to the Jamberoo Folk Festival.

The guest performers will be Hottentot.

Two time winners of the prestigious Dolphin Awards for Album of the Year, in 1998 and 1994, the Hottentots are promoted as a "noticeably different act" coming out of the Australian folk world scene.

Carl Cleves and Parissa Bouas compose and sing music inspired by the various cultures that they have lived in.

Weaving modern and traditional folk idioms, they create a style of contemporary world-folk music of their own.
