June 8th
— Merriwa Acoustic Music Club.
People have been asking when we might have Merriwa Acoustic Music Club on Zoom again. Well, COVID taught us how to use Zoom and I suppose that is an up-side (if perhaps a very, very small one in comparison to all the horrible stuff). So along with our regular 4th Tuesday of the month face-t-face in-person meeting on June 22nd, we will have Zoom Merriwa session. This will be each person having one song and then on to the next person, with everyone muting their microphones except the person performing.
Below are the Zoom details:

Friday 11th June
— Wanneroo Folk Club (2nd Friday Monthly)
This month the feature artist is Graham Wilson. It’s been a while since Graham was at Wanneroo.
With a powerful and melodic voice, a unique guitar style influenced by Dick Gaughan and Martin Simpson and a rhythm all his own, Graham performs a choice selection of traditional songs from his native Scotland and contemporary songs from some of the finest songwriters of our time. After many years involvement in the UK scene and following a sabbatical from music, he came to Perth, Western Australia, settled in and decided to rekindle his love of performing.
Since returning to music, Graham has performed at The National FF, Fairbridge FF, Illawarra FF, Yackandandah FF, Newstead FF, Cobargo FF to name a few and is fast becoming a favourite with his rugged guitar style and powerful vocals.
Having lived in both Belgium and Italy Graham is also tri-lingual and on occasion will drop a Jacques Brel song into the mix.
There will also be a couple of floor spots but they are the surprise acts for the night so you will have to come along to find out!!
Doors open 7pm for a 7:30pm start.
Sorry but you will need to COVID register at the door
Admission $10 ($8 for WAFF members).

14th June
— Supperclub.
Take a pinch of Patsy Cline, add a dash of James Taylor and a generous dollop of Brandi Carlisle and you have Helen Townsend and Shannon Smith Duo. Reminiscent of Welch/Rawlings and Harris/Crowell these two capture your imagination and heart.
…the duo engages and entertains the audience with their stories, anecdotes and off the cuff wit, and then woo them with strong original songs and tight weaving harmonies. The music is soulful, edgy and embraces Americana roots. Helens voice is unique, timeless and her stage presence captivating, whilst Shannon’s rich harmonies, onstage presence and guitar work complete the duo.
Spoken word this month will be from Peter Stone who needs no introduction to friends of Dingo’s Breakfast, Peter Capp or WA Bush Poets and who recently hosted three sellout concerts at his Big Picture Factory.
As regulars know, Supperclub is an intimate venue with an audience who enjoy listening to first rate performers in a quiet atmosphere.
Tickets $45.00 (please note non-dining tickets not available)
Doors open 6.30pm Bread and dips served
