“November at The Franklin Folk Club is always special. Our community music groups all gather at the The Franklin Palais Theatre to display their chosen performance pieces of the year” – Steve Gadd
Performing on the evening: SongFirth | Noah Rosenbloom Trio | The Huon Heritage Ensemble | The Hobart Old Time String Band | Geeveston & Glen Huon Primary School Choirs | Michael Crump | Fiddle and Squeeze.
“SongFirth are singer songwriters Esther Cooke and Hugh McGarry, who met at Franklin Folk Club 3 years ago and have been collaborating ever since. Their songs tell stories from life and dive deep into the human condition. Passionate and powerful vocals, interwoven with harmonies that you’ll be humming on the way home” – Esther Cooke
SongFirth have recently released their album “Wishbone” CDs will be available on the evening from the bands singer Esther Cooke. Or have a listen via Spotify.
While folk music can, in a simplified and abstracted form, be written and taught with standard pedagogy it is best learnt through immersion…only this way is the abstract notation brought to life and only this way is the heart of the tradition passed on – Steve Gadd.
It’s the music of the people for the people, shared and collaborated and celebrated. It’s a celebration of humanness – Tiffany Eckhardt
