Blue Goose at folk club
The Troubadour Central Coast folk club will host the Blue Goose band at the CWA Hall in Woy Woy on Saturday, July 25.
"In the late 1980s Whistling Goose, one of Sydney's favourite jug-folk-goodtime bands came to an end after more than a decade of entertaining Sydney audiences," club publicity officer Mr Willy Timmerman said.
"Blue Goose represents the renewal of the musical relationship between three of the members of Whistling Goose.
"It combines Sonia Bennett's powerful vocals and guitar with the multi-instrumental musicianship of Max Gregory and Bruce Stavert with Andy Stavert on bass.
"Blue Goose brings together a broad range of musical experience and skill and a love of music in its many guises.
"Original compositions are interspersed with refreshing interpretations of songs of genres old and new, from early blues to traditional Australian and contemporary folk, jugband and even acoustic versions of the odd jazz standards.
"Sonia Bennett's powerful voice is supported by guitar, banjo, mandolin, national slide guitar, keyboards, bass and harmonica.
"All this combines to make them fun and great to listen to."
Tickets to the 7pm performance start from $7 for club members, $8 for concession and $10 for general admission.
Floor spots are available and supper provided.
