With her clear voice, great feeling, and delicacy Heather Innes will take you through the gamut of emotions from powerful ballads to gentle lullabies in a performance tinged with timely humour. She had toured numerous countries singing in folk clubs and pubs with various groups and in her a cappella duo Caim has even performed twice for the Dalai Llama in Northern Ireland.
Hill-start is the musical collaboration of Porirua couple, Jo Moir (Hobnail) and Simon Harding (Obediah). Simon (guitar & mandola) and Jo (fiddle) have been playing songs of heartache, love and other nonsense, that pack a punch, following the country maxim of “three chords and the truth”. Simon & Jo craft their own versions of songs from favourite artists including Neil Young, Jason Isbell, and Gram Parsons, coloured in with harmony and weaving fiddle lines.
WilkieMac, Lynne Wilkins and Michael Mackinnon, are based in Raglan. They have recently completed several recording projects and are looking forward to sharing songs from: ‘The Guinea Stamp’, a collection inspired by Robert Burns; ‘The Pleasure Will Be Mine’, a collection of favourite celtic and local folk songs; and ‘When the West Wind Blows’, a collection of Lynne’s songs and tunes.
