inside and outside the Butterfly Club where I'm doing this show EARLY FOLK 19th-23rd June

EARLY FOLK is the name of the show. Its FOR early folk. June 19th -23rd.
Wednesday 19th will kick it off with a 6pm start. Thursday , Friday and Saturday will be at 7pm and Sunday will finish at 6pm.
Its a lot of days in one place. But I want to do something different.The room fits maybe 80 people , seated in a small theatre mode.
I am bored shitless with playing too late in bars and clubs. Early starts are for me too! Its plain silly the way shows have to be so late. Let the gig happen and then hang around and socialize if you want to! How crazy an idea!
I am playing solo with an acoustic guitar or two. (six and twelve string) I have had a strong taste for abstract jazz and folk artists over the last decade and have been recording an art pop acoustic album this year. I will play  a song or two from that project as well as other songs of mine that fit the mode. I love playing with the mistLY but also have grown to enjoy this way of playing. Its a lot looser and I can access a lot more of my material. I'm hoping each night will be a little different.
The venue is pretty special and I can't do this sort of a show anywhere else. The ticket prices are a  lot cheaper if you book with a  group.
here is a link to book



The venue is in Carson Place- off Little Collins street between Swanston and Elizabeth streets.





The Butterfly Club is narrow and extends over three levels with several small bars..



Rooms stuffed with bric a brac and Victoriana.
This level has chairs at the window looking out onto Collins street...





 After the show you can walk back out to Little Collins street...

Hope to see you there. I'm looking forward to it!

ps - there will be mulled wine and candles to up the folk - o -meter.
