Oh What a Night! - songs from 1963
On the occasion of her 60th birthday, club president Carole Stewart has planned a musical celebration for this club night.
Carole writes “I extend an invitation to all my folky friends to come along and sing a couple of songs from that year or some other connection (maybe also born in 1963). People can contact me directly to offer to perform (on email address mcstew [at] slingshot.co.nz) and I will probably ask some in person.”
1963 featured a large number of memorable pop songs. There were also major events in the world which became immortalized, or at least got a mention, in song. Then again, some people born in 1963 went on to have careers in music in later years. This night will be your opportunity to present your own cover version of a song or tune that has something to do with 1963, so grab a friend, form a group or just work solo on your favourites! There has even been a hint that some members of the legendary group Rhonda and the Ravers might come out of retirement to perform a couple of '63 classics.
We hope you'll join us for what promises to be a great night of music and nostalgia.
