Meow, 9 Edward St.
27 May, 7:30 pm
Entry $15
To celebrate New Zealand Music Month, we have a great lineup of local artists performing a mixture of their own music and the classics of “kiwi folk” -
- Helen Dorothy (pictured below), who wowed us all with the release of her album 'The Going Away' in 2010, and who thankfully is still here, performing and writing songs influenced by her new home here in Godzone.
- Murray Kilpatrick, pretty much a grandaddy in the Wellington folk scene having helped so many find their voices and instruments; with that quintessential Kiwi voice and accent, his version of 'She's gone to the town' will send shivers down your spine.
- Paddy Burgin and the Wooden Box Band, also popular fixtures in the Wellington scene for a lo-ong time, promising a multi-instrumental tour of NZ past and present.
Come along early to get a good seat, this is likely to be popular. Better still, come and warm up at the Americana jam session (4-7 pm at Meow).
