SHiNDiG
Blackheath Golf Club
9.30pm Sat 22 Aug

Singalong… Jam Session… Hootenanny… Karaoke on mass…

Blackheath Golf Club changes

For 2026 the Club has decided to close for general business at 8:45pm and open doors for SHiNDiG ticket holders at 9pm. The reason is that there is a legal limit to the numbers present in the Club at any one time, and, by closing and re-opening, the Club can ensure that the number of people in the Club is limited, by ticket sales, to its legal capacity. Those who are eating at the Club prior to the SHiNDiG will be asked to leave. Those who have pre-purchased tickets online will not need to sign in at that stage. Tickets will only be sold at the door if the SHiNDiG is not sold out.

Whatever you want to call it…The Evergreen SHiNDiG is a night celebrating COMMUNITY MUSIC where YOU help provide the tunes. Bring along your voice box and perhaps your own (Acoustic) music maker* to hoot/holler/pick/strum/shake or noodle along with some of the biggest and best and most inclusive singalong tunes we can think of. Anything from Elvis to Bowie, Dylan to Elton, Fleetwood Mac to Oasis, Aretha to Backstreet Boys. The night is led by the talented and passionate Ben Marshall and the Evergreen Music Team. Lyrics/chords/melody lines provided (via projector screen)… you just rock up, find a spot to sit/stand/dance and join in!

No audition required, no pressure to be involved…but certainly ALL WELCOME, just pull up a barstool and you’re in the band! You only know three chords? That’ll get you pretty far at a SHiNDiG!

If playing music isn’t your thing, you may like to come along and just to sip on a beer or wine and soak up some wholesome Community atmosphere… but please be aware after 10 minutes and a pint you are at high risk of joining in!

So it’s about time to dust off that mandolin, buy some new reeds for your clarinet, re-string that guitar and get down to THE GOLF CLUB ON SATURDAY NIGHT 22 Aug from 9.30 pm for a night celebrating the joy of community music. Don’t miss THE EVERGREEN SHiNDiG!

Ticket price $30 ($15 for choristers performing in 2026) to cover costs

*MUSIC MAKER for a SHiNDiG is something acoustic…
Acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, acoustic bass, flute, sax, fiddle, accordion are a few examples of ‘music makers’ that have appeared at our previous SHiNDiGS. If you have any more questions or want some more information don’t hesitate to contact us… but you really just need to come along and experience for yourself!
