SEASON’S GREETINGS
Not really news, we know, but we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 2009 has been a rollercoaster of fun, with sold out shows by Shapeshifter, Don McGlashan and The Black Seeds, plus stellar gigs from the likes of Disasteradio and Pitch Black. We hope that in 2010 we can keep this high standard up and continue to provide top notch entertainment by your favourite Kiwi bands and artists.
