Music Plus has a long history
Lyn, Frank and Marilyn – an interesting ensemble with ukulele, guitar and violin
This musical evening with a variety of performers, poets, raconteurs and musicians has been in existence since March 2008.
The concept of music in the community was introduced in 2004 by Joan Finch, a former teacher and pianist, who passed away at Christmas time 2007.
At her funeral, her husband, Noel, made an impassioned plea to Pam Graham to continue the evenings, which she has done since March 2008.
Pam has encouraged teachers to bring students along to gain performance experience and to keep music alive.
These have been pianists, singers (boys and girls) and budding guitarists. There have always been older musicians of professional status and former members of orchestras, as well as people who play well but did not take up the art professionally.
Now we enjoy music of the classical era, folk songs, Country and BlueGrass, a ukulele group, poetry, funny stories and occasionally sketches, which are greatly appreciated as they take some rehearsing, and always songs which we all join in and sing along.
The kitchen serves tea, coffee, cold drinks, biscuits and cake at the end of the evening.
Pam organises and introduces everyone, so if you feel the urge to do any of the things mentioned, please call her or email her to be on the next programme.
Come to Music Plus on March 26 at 7pm at the Veterans’ and Community Hall, Cooloola Cove. It is held on the last Thursday of each month at 7pm in each of the following months March, April, May, September, October and November. Call Pam 0427 180 649 or e-mail: kcisf327@gmail.com
