Trick or Treat with Ma Bell and Guests
31 October 2021
You can expect a night of spirited high energy in classic Izzy style, from original composition to folk and country classics, dirty low-down blues and classy jazz renditions delivered up with attitude, class, and style, guaranteed to melt any heart.
Fingerpicking Delights VI
7 November 2021
Five acts are jam packed with talent, with guitars navigating solos and
backing singers whose material will not just be in English.
Andrew London
21 November 2021
Throughout four decades of writing, traveling and recording Andrew London has carved his own niche in the Kiwi music business. Elements of blues, folk, country, jazz, western swing and English music hall are evident, and the lines between them joyously blurred
Martin Curtis
28 November 2021
Martin’s concerts combine quiet thoughtful songs about NZ and beyond with hilarious bush poetry and other humorous material he has picked up along the way.
Manuka Hunnies

In December, the full force of this collective, seen at the Christchurch Folk Club in 2018, will include the spine-tingling accordion of Sophia Bidwell, the tastefully blended soulful cello of Nicole Reddington along with their delicate harmonies and supreme musicianship.
Tall Folk
13 February 2022
From the comparatively upper stratospheres of human heights, Tall Folk write from a bird’s eye view of political and social turmoil, lined with remnants of the goodness that keeps us all moving.
