Concert at the Everglades

A concert will be held at the Everglades Country Club as part of the Umina Beach Folk Festival.

It will be hosted by the Rotary Club of Umina and will be held in the Everglades' auditorium on Friday, October 22.

The concert will commence at 8pm with award winning poet, Vic Jefferies.

Vic lives in Sydney and Patonga and over recent years has appeared as a featured poet and master of ceremonies at every major folk festival in New South Wales.

Vic will be followed by Lost 'n Found, presenting a mix of original compositions and traditional songs, interspersed with humorous anecdotes.

They will be followed by Cathy Gibson and Gary Brown, performing an evocative meld of folk-blues with jazzy overtones.

Following a supper break, the concert will feature Central Coast singer songwriter, Linda Campbell.

Linda interweaves drama, song and story into a moving and thought provoking performance.

After a few more recitations from Vic Jefferies, the evening turns to comedy with a performance by the Redheads, duo.

The evening will end with a from another Central Coast band, New York Public Library.

The line up is banjo, guitars, acoustic double bass and mandolin and the repertoire is bluegrass, Irish, country and contemporary with close three part harmonies and a very strong element of humour.

Tickets for the concert cost $15 including supper and proceeds will go to Umina Rotary.

Tickets are available from reception at the club until sold out.

Tickets for the festival are also available from Peninsula Music, George Street, Woy Woy or on 4342 9099. The entire weekend's festival only costs $45 including the Everglades concert.
