An acoustic combo that celebrates New Zealand songs and songwriters will perform at the Whangateau Hall on September 3.
Taranaki’s one and only Gumboot Trio, with a combined age and the musical experience of three football fields, will provide, in their own words, some “good-time home-grown music, from rustic roots and big-smoke blues to regional originals and classic kiwi rock”.
Trio member Mike Harding says the group plays foot-tapping ditties which will be familiar from the cowshed wireless at milking time.
“There will be songs last heard on 78-inch records, sing-a-longs from back-country roads and country halls, and from the bush and the big smoke. There will be voices, guitar, mandolin and percussion, and possibly washboards!”
The trio is playing as guests of the Whangateau Folk Club. The concert starts at 7.30pm.
