Rosie McDonald & Nigel Lever - 8pm
You may have seen Rosie and Nigel play in various bands and at numerous festivals over the past 20 years, but it is the music they play together that shines with an intimate and heart felt intensity that draws you in with lyrics supported by beautiful arrangements.
From sweet Irish and American ballads and tunes, to Joni Mitchell classics and original songs inspired through this recent time of enforced seclusion.
Rosie and Nigel draw upon the rhythmic and melodic threads that weave through Australian, Irish, Scottish, English and American folk traditions and present a joyful antidote to current hard times. Rosie - vocals, acoustic guitar, Irish bouzouki & bodhran. Nigel Lever - vocals, mandolin, flatpicking acoustic guitar, octave mandolin.
With recent gigs being online, including the wonderful Sydney folk festival in August, Rosie and Nigel are delighted to be back playing 'live' at Beatrice Taylor Hall for the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai folk club.
Please book early as numbers will be limited to 30 in total. Register your place with our bookings coordinator, Bob,
Contribution: $25 - BYO drinks & nibbles - tea & coffee provided.

The Riderless Horse - An Australian Impression of the First World War - 7pm
This material has the ring of truth for nobody knows better than those who were there. From the rousing songs of nationalistic fervour, to the soldiers’ brave faced morale boosters composed on the spot in the trenches and sung by many voices, to the ballads of those left behind to watch and wait - It’s the songs written by people of the time, those directly affected by being at war, that really tell the story and provide a rare insight into Australia at the time of the war to end all wars. Although these songs were never meant to tell the story of one soldier’s experience, this presentation has been arranged chronologically and gives a strong impression of continuity. The show also contains a potted folk history of Australia’s involvement in WW1.
Presented by Chloe & Jason Roweth, online via their Facebook page. Donations welcome via web page.
