Our guest for Friday February 21st 2020 will be

Gloria Florence

Rumour has it that to work at 121 Ponsonby Road (which Gloria does, I'm told, on Saturday evenings) you have to have an audition to make sure you can sing, or play an instrument. However, it was apparently 4 weeks before the 121 staff discovered that this young woman had a great voice and wrote her own songs! Gloria Florence sings of a broken heart and growing up in the middle of an age of miscommunication. Drawing from her beginnings as a punk bassist, she is inspired by the likes of Billie Holiday, The Stranglers and Townes Van Zandt. It's a pleasure for Rafters to be able to showcase an up and coming talent who is helping keep live music 'alive and well' in New Zealand.

Programme

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.

Photos and Videos

Photos and some videos of performances will be taken during the evening and displayed on our Facebook page. We also have a Rafters Music Club YouTube channel where we display some videos (type Rafters Music Club into YouTube search to find these videos). Please see Linda if you do not want your images publically available.

See you there,

Graham, Linda, Jennifer and Alistair
