SUMMARY:Marcus & Bill @ The Barebones Acoustic Folk Club
DESCRIPTION:Marcus and Bill have been playing music as a duo for a number of years. They met as fellow jammers at the Auckland Blues Music Club\, where Bill plays bass and Marcus plays harmonica\, guitar and they both sing. Discovering they both had four string tenor guitars\, they began to play and perform with these together. Subsequently they brought in their other instruments to the duo\, and developed a wide-ranging repertoire including blues\, folk and other genres\, in both acoustic and electric forms. For both of them the words matter\, including that they can be heard\, and they value simple arrangements of music and songs that they come across. For their guest spot they will be concentrating on six-string acoustic guitars and Marcus’s harmonicas.\n\nWarm clothing recommendedDoors open 2.30pmEntry $10.00 cash at the doorNo bar\, so it’s BYOTea/Coffee/Cake at 1/2 time – Gold coin donation please

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.
