David and Shimna have a lot of individual credits before teaming up as a duo for the first time in 2019 - including a #1 single on iTunes, opening for Foreigner, Heart, and Three Dog Night, receiving the Frank Winter and Martin Blackman awards at the Auckland Folk Festival, & Composing for Pop Up Globe and 3rd Bear productions.
Together they ve performed at the Illawarra Folk Festival in Australia, were crowd favourites at Revive Festival and the ASB Tennis Classic in New Zealand, and the combined harmonies from the duo, plus some live looping and their amazing ability on their instruments make for an engaging and captivating show.
Folk music returns to hall
Gillian Boucher and Bob McNeill
The Whangateau Folk Club at the Whangateau Hall is cranking up again after multiple lockdowns.
On Friday, March 19, Gillian Boucher and Bob McNeill will be on stage to promote their 2019 album, Race for the Sun.
Club coordinator Jenine Abarbanel says these two award-winning musicians combine to create a magical experience deeply seeded in their passion for Scottish traditional music.
“Gillian is an exceptional fiddler and dancer from eastern Canada’s Scottish-infused Cape Breton Island, while Bob is an acclaimed guitarist, singer and songwriter from Scotland,” Jenine says.
The show starts at 7.30pm with a $15 entry fee.
Forest pilot launched
Owners of small forests in the Whangateau catchment will be invited to attend a workshop early this year as part of an initiative to better manage harvesting across the catchment.
The project is largely being funded by the Rodney Local Board and overseen by Healthy Waters senior specialist Adam Schellhammer, who attended a meeting at the Whangateau Hall last month. The meeting was facilitated by Whangateau Harbourcare, a community group which is concerned about the impact harvesting could have on the health of the harbour.
Council will appoint a forestry ambassador to liaise with small forest owners this month.
