My son has invited my husband & I to visit him in Blenheim for Christmas. To make such a long trip worthwhile we are coming for a month from December 12th to Jan 10th to explore South Island. It is really exciting.....

There is some stuff I would love to have some local/inside information about.

What is going on in the folk scene at this time?
Any festivals I can get a sing and play at?
Any clubs I can visit?
Any places I really should not miss out on visiting?
Any places I can meet up with some Catters?
Any help and information would be gratefully received.
Mary
