New Singing Group

New Singing Group

For some time there has been very little co-ordinated folk-singing activity in Wellington.

About a year ago the remnants of the Wellington Folk Song Club gathered themselves into two groups and put on a couple of concerts in the Library Lecture Hall with no publicity and consequently no audience. Since then the Club has ceased to exist, and Wellington folk-singers are now individuals rather than a co-ordinated group.

The V.U.W. Contemporary Arts Society is now rectifying this state of affairs. A sub-group for discovering and singing folk songs has been formed in much the same way as the Jazz Club was spawned. The group needs singers, instrumentalists, collectors and organizers—anyone interested in singing for the hell of it and in putting on the occasional concert. Well-known student/folksinger Arthur Toms wants to hear of experienced singers, or interested people. He can be contacted through Salient.
