Looking forward to Singer Songwriters Hāwera this evening!
Everything’s loaded (hopefully), but the chills I’m getting are anticipation of the Taōngas that will be shared.
The Taranaki Singer Songwriters trust has been doing amazing mahi in order for our own voices to be heard and cherished. SOUTH TARANAKI COMMUNITY NOTICEBOARD
Looking forward to seeing new friends. Hawera, New Zealand

Eighteen years after the first Taranaki singer-songwriter sessions started in New Plymouth, a gig has been organised closer to home for South Taranaki musicians.

Thank you for a wonderful evening! I really do feel lucky to come from Taranaki.

Special thanks to Judy Brown for the gorgeous floral arrangements on the stage; to Chris Foreman for making me sound so good both last night and over the last several years; Ron at Hawera Rep for hosting us at such a lovely theatre; and to Calypso Maddox-Rowe for sharing her beautiful songs.

My students' recital is next Sunday, 12th November, midday at Hawera Memorial Theatre. Entry is $10 and there will be afternoon tea after the show.

I can’t yet tell you why these microphones were set up. But I can tell you that they didn’t use instruments, and you’ll prolly hear the recording at the end of watching something that will make you cry in many ways. And they brang 🧁
Tihei mauri ora!

Get it.

Pleased as punch to say that our debut album Asleep At Lunchtime is out now! A huge thank you to Luigi Aht Falagario from Almost Halloween Time Records for believing in us enough to release this on vinyl, Chris Foreman at Swamp Shack Studios for helping us engineer the drum recording and Janko Reinders, Jack Moser, Tim Hencz, Helen Griffiths and Rhiannon Swift for contributing extra bits of instrumentation on some of the songs. Teamwork makes the dream work!

We feel over the moon to be able to share these recordings with you and we hope you like them!

From Painted Ponies second album. Lovely group of humans. And refreshingly mature lyrical content about that old existential crisis. Chekkit!
