Music evenings
Each month, one Friday evening is given over to music. The evening is completely informal. It usually consits of our resident 'house band', Shindig, gathering for a 'jam session', along with anyone who turns up and wants to participate. The audience also frequently joins in!
But September 2023 saw a variation on this regular patter. HVIS invited the Wellington / Hutt Valley GFHA along to celebrate their successes over the past 12 months. We started the evening with a few 'Trad' musicians playing in a corner, and then most of the Shindig regulars took over, with a little assistance. See for yourself.
