Acoustic Routes, also known as the Wellington Folk Centre, is a club in Wellington for people who enjoy performing and listening to a wide range of music with the emphasis on acoustic styles. |
|
|
From the start of 2010, Acoustic Routes concerts will be held at: - The Ruby Lounge - for the monthly concerts (excluding January), on the fourth Sunday of the month
- The Katipo Café - for a blackboard concert singaround, on the second Wednesday of the month
THE RUBY LOUNGE 14 Bond Street (between Victoria Street and Willis Street, opposite Trade Aid). This is a happening new music venue that local musician Laura Collins has created out of the old Bond Street Inn/Loaded Hog bar -- check out the website, http://www.therubylounge.co.nz. It's a relaxed bar setting with a great atmosphere and everything we need in terms of stage, PA and lighting. Plus you can buy drinks and food. While the Ruby Lounge will be great for concerts, it’s not so suitable for our more informal club events such as singarounds and blackboard concerts. Luckily we’ve found another venue close by that’s just about perfect for those: THE KATIPO CAFÉ upstairs at 76 Willis Street, opposite Mercer Street (which some of you will remember as the Pioneer Coffee Lounge), just up the road from New World Metro. This is a great little venue with loads of ambience. The only catch: it's closed on Sundays (like most of the other venues we've looked at). So, rather than lose this great opportunity, the committee has made a bold decision. We've changed the night for our monthly club sessions from second Sundays to second Wednesdays. This decision will be tested by your response, but we thought it was worth a trial and feel sure that once you see the place you'll be won over. If you want to come early there's a happy hour from 5, and reasonably-priced meals available till 7. The Katipo Cafe doesn't have its own website but you can get an idea of the place from http://www.eventfinder.co.nz/venue/katipo-cafe-wellington . |
Monthly Concerts and Club Nights These are held at the Wellington Arts Centre in Abel Smith Street, central Wellington, on the second and fourth Sunday of each month, starting at 8pm. A map is shown on the Concert Venue Page.
The monthly concert on the fourth Sunday features an invited guest performer as the main act, with a variety of supporting acts to open the show. The concerts feature a mix of local club members and visiting performers. Door charges are $7 for club members and $10 for non-members - cheaper than the movies. School-aged children are free. Free tea and coffee is also provided.
Other Concerts, Dances and Events These are hosted by us at various times, details of these can be found on this website or in our monthly Magazine The Balladeer. |
