Top N.Z. folk artists will be featured in the first official folk concerts (no poetry) this week being staged in the Memorial theatre from Thursday 18th to Saturday 20th March. Each night will have special guests with Tamburlaine featured Thursday, Pitt Ramsay Friday and Alistair Hulett on Saturday.

Pitt Ramsay is widely accepted as N.Z.'s finest folk guitarist, often mentioned and occasionally seen in the last series of "The Country Touch". Pitt is leaving for the States shortly and is unlikely to be seen in Wellington again.

Alistair Hulett, recently returned from a stint of professional singing in Melbourne, is firmly based in the traditional idiom with some less restrictive excursions. A leading member of groups Croodin' Cant and The Waite.

Tamburlaine are home grown talent. They play the music they like and sometimes find other people like it too! An increasing amount of good original material is appearing in their repertoire and they are soon to record an L.P.

Supporting artists over the three nights will include: Paul Metsiers, Robbie Duncan, Hillary King, Godot, The Country Deal, Barry Lienart and Robert Taylor.
