Folk at The Fitz with Westward

Just like last month, our latest guests need no introduction. But they’ve taken the trouble to write one, so here it is!

Westward – Deb & Mike Harding, Lisa Dohig & Ken Kowalchuk – have all been involved in folk music in Taranaki since Ken and Lisa arrived in New Plymouth following a spell in Ohura (teaching, not incarceratin’!).

Following on from their July tourette they will be at folk@theFitz on Sunday 28 July. Featuring four strong vocalists plus guitar, bass and a repertoire of songs to entertain and bring an audience together ‘in unison and harmony’. Songs from near and faraway places and times, from a Te Awamutu wedding to a Mississippi summer, from traditional ballads to modern folk anthems.

To quote from their set list, ‘Let the music speak for itself’ and ‘You’ve got to do it while you can’.
