Founded in 1975, as a place where people interested in folk music in all its forms could share their skills and love of music, the club maintains an active programme of weekly club nights, concerts and festivals. ‘‘So, we selected eight acts, which will give the audience a taste of what we do.’’Mrs Moroney said the extraordinary variety of styles within folk music was one of the reasons the Dunedin Folk Club had thrived for 50 years. Originally arising from the University Folk Club, which combined with the 12 Fret Folk Club to form the New Edinburgh Folk Club, the organisation later changed its name to Dunedin Folk Club. ‘‘It’s going to be a great weekend of celebration.’’Tickets for the Dunedin Folk Club 50th anniversary Showcase Concert are available online via humanitix.
