Lurkers at folk club

Troubadour Central Coast folk club will feature The Lurkers at its meeting at 7pm on Saturday, November 27, at the CWA Hall Woy Woy.

The Lurkers are musically influenced by American hillbilly and old timey music and politically influenced by Woody Guthrie, Joe Hill, Pete Seeger and Berthold Brecht, according to publicity officer Ms Willy Timmerman.

The Lurkers will present a line-up of banjo, double bass, guitar and occasional mandolin and harmonica.

They draw on the tradition of artists and musicians who use their music for political agitation.

The three Lurkers share the songwriting, giving every set has a variety of styles from blues to hillbilly to mountain music or traditional folk, said Ms Timmerman.

The Lurkers also share vocals and use the close harmonies common in bluegrass.

Entry is $10 for general admission, $8 for concession and $7 for members.

Children are free with paying adults.
