Carnivorous Plant Society    Saturday, 20th April, 2024.  7:30 p.m.

“What cleverness. What shining, uplifting delight…  I can’t recommend this glorious treat highly enough. It’s magic! Go!”   JOHN CAMPBELL

“An exotic, cinematic sound … full of rich instrumental flourishes and characterful phrases”LYDIA JENKIN

 “You’d be all like ‘kay this is the prettiest music I’ve ever heard’ and then someone would pull out a tuba and you’d be like ‘WTF MAN’ .” ROSE MATAFEO

Carnivorous Plant Society tell stories guaranteed to melt your mind in the most pleasurable way.
Mexican mariachi mixes with spaghetti western; futuristic sci-fi blends with bizarre, spine-chilling nuances drawn from Stephen King novels.
Led by musician and animator Finn Scholes, they coax life from an astounding array of instruments – trumpets, violin, vibraphone, tuba, guitar, synthesizers, keyboards, bass, drums, the odd vocal and even some whistling.


Kerryn Fields and Matt Joe Gow8th June.  7:30 p.m.

With multiple awards to their names and thousands of miles between them, Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields are bonafide masters of their craft, having discovered a natural chemistry as performers, the union of their songwriting enables them to explore new depths in their music. 

“Like Presley and Joplin at a dream jam” Post To Wire 

The album was written on the road and features a strong connection to Aotearoa, Matt Joe Gow grew up in Dunedin in the South Island, a place with bad weather and good music, meanwhile Kerryn Fields was raised in the North Island with one hand on guitar and the other firmly upon her heart. 

Over the past year, the duo have captivated audiences across New Zealand and Australia with extensive touring, gracing renowned stages including the Tussock Country Music Festival, The National Folk Festival, Nannup Music Festival and many more. 

“Glorious from the get go”  Countrytown

Layered with honest songwriting and ragged instrumentation I Remember You is their true story. Equal parts uplifting and introspective, exploring themes of love, loss and the indelible marks left by the places we call home. 

“You’ll need to put it on repeat”  Beat Magazine

It’s the home of Sylvia’s Toaster ukulele band, and practices are held here most Wednesdays.

When not in use for performances the room is our lounge – however it was built for use as a small theatre, music room and library. There are good acoustics by way of its shape and use of irregular sized timber, and shelves of books. There’s a projector and stage lights.  Seating is casual – lounge suites, chairs, some old theatre seats, beanbags and carpets.

Audience size has ranged from about 15 to over 80.  Entrance is by donation – all proceeds go to the performers.

There is a housetruck, small caravan and room available for accomodation.

Admission by invitation, for tickets please email Wayne & Paula
