This month's concert at the Ruby Lounge features five fabulous young musicians who are already doing their acoustic thing out there in the folk scene. Not only is it important for the mature members of the club to feel that they are passing on the legacy and joy of our particular genre of music to the youth of the day, but that we also stay in touch with how the next generation are evolving and developing their craft. COME AND SUPPORT THEM!
Julia Miller has been studying contemporary guitar through Studio Sasada in Lower Hutt for several years and recently has been taking voice lessons from Tessa Quayle. Her tastes in music range from Dylan and Neil Young to Ryan Adams and she plays and sings styles from blues to jazz. Julia is currently studying Music Performance at Wellington High School and can be seen busking around Wellington either alone or with friends from her school. She will be playing with Brittany Blann on guitar and vocal harmonies for some of her set.

This month's concert at the Ruby Lounge is a bit different. It's our annual Blind Date concert, where randomly grouped volunteers get to show what their arranged collaborations have produced in just a month. Blind Date acts are often surprising, sometimes amazing, and always entertaining! (The photo shows "Ruthless" doing their version of I wanna be sedated at last year's Blind Date concert.) So come along to the AGM and stick around for this fun demonstration of creative musical cooperation. Rumour has it that the outgoing committee may also perform a number or two.

We are confident that all the Blind Date acts will be good, so there's no competition for "Best Act". But just to give participants something to shoot for, there are three awards, with appropriate trophies, up for grabs:
- The Linda Sorenson Chocolate Fish Award for the best original song
- The Golden Plectrum Award for the best instrumental break
- The Bob Cooper-Grundy Award for the best dressed band.

| Acoustic Routes’ monthly event at the Ruby Lounge on Sunday, June 27, will take a different form. Instead of the usual concert we'll be hosting a ceilidh to help keep you warm as we head into winter. It will feature The Jimmies, Wellington's longest-running Celtic music group and the city's leading ceilidh and barn-dance band. |

Following the urge to discover his
Liverpudlian roots, Cy moved to Lon-
don in 2004 and reunited with Vanessa
in 2007. Cy convinced Vanessa she
could sing, and Her Make Believe Band
was born.
Her Make Believe Band's debut album AM Radio
was released in the UK in November 2009 and has
received great press. The Music Critic described it as a
Òmasterful blend of Americana fused with jazz, soul
and pop.

Reviewer Graham Reid (on elsewhere.co.nz) said of the band’s recent CD My Sweet Town: “This album - gentle but probing lyrics delivered somewhere between James Taylor, Ry Cooder and less cynical Loudon Wainwright - is an understated gem.”
