Rest assured that a) there are Catters here - me for one - and b) there's tons of live music going on - some of it very good indeed. Plus you have the usual NZ advantages of scenery, sun, sea, sheep, and lots of luvverly people (not necessarily in that order....). Come along, it's only a plane ride and you won't want to go home, believe me, I know! Who you meet will depend on where you end up. If you want to come to Wellington area, let me know via PM and I'll try, as a relative newcomer to let you know what's going on. |

I know it sounds a long way ahead but we have to start saving! The plan is to offset some of the costs by doing a few gigs to enable us to stay a while. My wife is the performer and has been a guest at lots of festival in the UK. Me, I just carry the guitar. |

He came here 3 summers ago, and then 2 summers ago, and he's coming this summer..... I think he likes the Auckland Festival. At the end of January. Jez Lowe and the Bad Pennies are coming in February. |
