KATIKATI FOLK CLUB
Katikati Folk Club began in 1994 to help support folk music in the Western Bay of Plenty. Our monthly concerts feature a broad range of musical styles and genres from month to month – traditional folk to bluegrass, a cappella to blues, solo performers to seven-piece line-ups and everything in-between.
Our regular guest performers include some of the finest musicians on the New Zealand music scene as well as international artists.
We advise of upcoming concerts via this website, regular emails and our newsletter.
We are fortunate in having a wealth of local talent to draw on: we host Charity Club Nights when the evening’s programme consists entirely of local musicians, the proceeds going to local charities.
We also hold monthly informal jam sessions and blackboard sessions.
Since its 1994 beginnings, Katikati Folk Club has hosted many talented performers from both New Zealand and overseas.
New Zealand guests have included Caitlin Smith, Reb Fountain, Dave Khan, Mel Parsons, Shona Laing, Hot Club Sandwich and The Frank Burkitt Band. From overseas, we have hosted the legendary Martin Carthy, Norma Waterstone and Eliza Carthy, Dick Gaughan, Jez Lowe and Kate Bramley, Eric Bogle, the award-winning American band The Missy Raines Trio and many others. Local performers have included Waterford, Kokomo, Two’s Company, My Pennyworth, Smith & Co, Kaimai Express, and many, many more.
