CARGO :: BBQ SESSIONS:: 21/08/05
For this Sunday session we are very proud to present a musical smorgasbord for your pleasure.
Our “headline” act is an acoustic set by the sensation of 2004, Fly My Pretties. Main man Barnaby Weir and friends will perform a few numbers from their “Live At Bats” album and maybe even preview some newer material if we are lucky. Please note that due to some members of the ensemble being on tour or back home, this will not be a full Fly My Pretties set.
Barnaby will also be playing some music under his other guise, the fabulously funky Flash Harry and we have another Black Seed (and Flight of the Conchord’s maestro) Bret Mckenzie showcasing his own side project, The Video Kid. Last not but not least, there will be poetry and performance from Sistar Spacific and friends. Manning the decks in and around these performances will be the ever funky and eclectic Ms Mill, the wonderfully deranged Mikey Ray and the all encompassing LOOP soundsystem.
Cargo chefs will be cooking Kiwi delicacies outside on the barbie – not sure exactly what yet but green lipped mussels, lamb cutlets and other delights were mentioned.
Doors: 4pm til 12am
Entrance: £5 b4 6pm or in advance from Ticketweb / £7 after
