Next Concerts:
The Frank Burkitt Band Saturday, 2nd March, 2019. 7:30 p.m.
“A set with the band is like a trip through the top shelf of the best liquor cabinet – all malt whisky, moonshine and sunlight…a tight-knit ensemble of power and delicacy and a rare treat.”
Shannon Beynan – stuff.co.nz.
Cricket Farm Saturday, 23rd March, 2019. 7:30 p.m.
Cricket Farm are a two-piece indie-folk act hailing from Auckland, New Zealand.
Since their formation in 2016 they have released and toured an album ‘Bending Spoons’ as well as played several small shows in Europe.
Influenced by folk and punk, their lyrics can’t lie but at least you’ll hear the truth in a soft voice. Now in 2019 they are working on new music and performing in venues big and small (like…bedroom-small).
Cricket Farm is made up of Hayley Robertson (vocals, ukulele, clarinet, percussion) and Sims Ross (guitar, vocals).
Himmlerland – Thursday, April 18th, 2019. 7:30p.m.
HIMMERLAND is a Danish band inspired by the exciting and very varied cultures of five experienced musicians who are living in Denmark. It’s new music from Scandinavia across styles, cultures and frontiers!
“Himmerland were hot, they knew what they were doing and they did it very well!” – “Life with a Blackdog”, Canberra, Australia
Eskil Romme: Saxophone
Ayi Solomon: Percussion
Sigurd Hockings: Guitar
Andrzej: Electric bass guitar
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 Pahu. 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.
