The Skiffy Rivets began around singing – just for the fun of it. And fun it is, as they explore all sorts of different approaches to Americana, swing, and folk. With three singers making up the vocals, it makes for a wide variety of songs including some rip-roaring old favourites and some new songs.
Vocalist Holly Carrington and bassist Cathy Dyer are up from Wellington for the performance at Rafters, and will be joined by Sue Tearne on vocals and Pete Parnham on guitars and vocals. This brings together a line-up that has played at performances and festivals up and down the North Island.
The first half of the evening brings musicians old and new to warm us up before supper and our main guest/s. We welcome new performers. See Graham at the door if you want to perform, but you will need to be there before the 8pm start.
