Seel & Sanders Saturday, 28th February 2026. 7:30 p.m.

For over 6 years London-based guitarist songwriter Alex Seel and innovative bouzouki player Jon Sanders have been charming crowds at festivals and concerts in Europe.
This summer brings a rare opportunity to hear their unique blend of original songwriting and worldly tunes across New Zealand at select venues on their 23 concert tour.
A recent review in the Rhein Zeitung in Germany said of their August concert
“The audience raved about the sheer scope of musical interplay and different genres. Sanders plied his jazz-tinged Irish and Arabesque world music , weaving his compositional skills with British songwriter Seel’s pop, blues and folk ballads with almost unbelievable change in tempo. All this accompanied by Seel’s impressive guitar playing.”
Both are award winning long term musicians taking audiences through their life journeys in music and song.
“Captivating, exhilarating and dynamic” said the Zeitung. “Quantum leaping…” said the Irish Times. A unique collaboration, not to be missed!

A Venue for House Concerts

Admission by invitation, for tickets please email Wayne & Paula

We’re pleased to offer our home to present live music in Te Pahū. As well as concerts we’ve also enjoyed theatre performances and art exhibitions.

We’ve been entertained by a wide range of musical styles – and been wowed by the amazing skills and musicality of the travelling minstrals.

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.
