Quartet to sing at folk club

The Newcastle and Hunter Valley Folk Clubs' singing quartet The Collectables will perform at the Troubadour Central Coast folk club's next meeting on Saturday, September 25.

The group will perform popular folk favourites from the 60s and 70s plus many more traditional and contemporary numbers, according to Troubadour president Mr Bill Bekric,

"They will be singing songs from the Mammas and the Papas; Peter, Paul and Mary: Simon and Garfunkel; and Bob Dylan," Mr Bekric said.

"The Collectables are Toni Davies, Ron and Lucy McMurray and Brent 'Bilbo' Rodgers.

"Toni has been involved with numerous duos, groups and choirs including the Union Peoples Chorus based in Newcastle where she met Bilbo, another harmony junkie.

"Ron and Lucy, the group's main musos, have been playing and singing together forever. "They have a huge repertoire of covers and have their own regular gigs in Lake Macquarie but also play with some Latino bands."

Mr Bekric said there would also be floor spots available and a light supper would be served.

Tickets start at $7 for members and $10 for non-members and can be booked by calling 4341 4060 or 0417 456 929.
