Folk club meets on Saturday

Troubadour Central Coast folk club will hold its next meeting at the CWA Hall in Woy Woy on Saturday, January 24.

Two performances have been announced for the evening including Slightly Off and Warren Taggert.

The first performance will begin from 7pm.

"Slightly Off is a husband and wife duo who have chosen beautiful Umina Beach on the NSW Central Coast as their home," club president Mr Bill Bekric said.

"Leila originally hails from sunny Florida, USA, but came to Australia in 2000.

"On Australia Day in 2006, Leila proudly joined that select club of 20 million people with Australian citizenship.

"Carl and Leila have been performing together since they first summoned up the courage to perform publicly at their own wedding in February 2004.

"Recently they became even more 'off', with the talents of Frank and Marilyn Russell adding to the interesting pot pourri.

"Slightly Off performs their own material mixed with obscure and bazaar songs they have found along the way.

"Dark humour is always a big part of a Slightly Off performance, along with Leila's zany antics and wacky instruments including the musical saw and the bowed banjo.

"For Slightly Off, the most important aspect of any performance is for the audience to have a good time.

"Be sure to come prepared to laugh and maybe get a few shudders."

Mr Bekric said audiences would also be delighted and entertained by the talents of the night's second performance, Warren Taggert.

"In a club of gifted amateurs, Warren shines like a beacon," Mr Bekric said.

"His years as a professional come through every time and always with something new.

Floor spots will be available on the night and supper provided.

Admission to the evening is $10 per adult, $8 concession and members $7.

Admission for children is free with any paying adult.

For more information phone 4341 4060 or 0417 159 540 after hours.
