             Singers' Sessions

The Singers' Sessions are held at the South Australian Folk Centre, corner of South Road and George Street, THEBARTON, ADELAIDE, South Australia, on the   second Sunday of each month, 5 - 9 pm.

The idea of the Singers' Sessions was conceived by David and Jenni Wahlheim. They wanted to create an environment where singers of all genres could come and perform in front of an appreciative audience. The first session was held in June 2003 at the South Australian Folk Centre.

Most of the sessions take the form of a sing around, with performers accompanying themselves on guitar. However there is a piano for any performer who wishes to use it, and there is any number of willing guitarists who are happy to accompany would-be soloists.   A number of performers prefer a cappella.

There is a minimal charge. We ask that you make a "gold coin" donation ($1 or $2) to the Folk Federation when you arrive, or for $5 we will provide pizza for dinner and any money left over will go the Folk Federation.

Age is no barrier. We have enjoyed performances from teenagers through to some who are in their eighties. We cater for professional singers through to those who are making their first tentative steps towards performing in public.

The music is not restricted to folk. We have enjoyed singer songwriters performing their own work, music from the 1900's, stage shows, through to excerpts of Gilbert and Sullivan etc.
