Mainly Acoustic presents The Chaps

For more than 14 years The Chaps have entertained audiences with their unique mixture of music and humour. The music has its roots in folk and bluegrass, but is flavoured with calypso and swing; they’ve labelled it “Cowboy Lounge”.  Tight, four-part harmonies (occasionally sung in Maori and Japanese) are supported by skilful playing on guitar, fiddle mandolin and double bass. Sometimes they add a banjo, tin whistle or castinets.

Tickets $16 adults, $10 concession/students/ children
