WED 4 NOV | SHAUN KIRK

Hailing from the music-filled streets of Melbourne, Australia, Shaun Kirk is an award-winning blues and soul troubadour recognised for his exceptional talent as a born entertainer.

His unique talent has not only earned him many accolades but also much praise from fellow artists, such as three-time Grammy Award Winner Fantastic Negrito, who has declared his show as "One of the best one-man shows I've ever seen!"

Kirk's vocals exude a gritty, soulful depth that seems to transcend far beyond his years, with critics continually acclaiming him as "one of the finest blues voices Australia has ever heard" (Buzz Mag).

A HAUNTED NIGHT AT HOTEL EMILY
SATURDAY 31 OCTOBER

This Halloween, Hotel Emily is taking over Wunderbar with The Nor’Westers and Wild East for a night of frights. Prizes for the best costumes...

Hotel Emily have spent 2026 sharpening their sound and steadily working their way into the Ōtautahi indie sphere. Driven by restless energy and a love of the craft, they are becoming one of the city’s most exciting new voices.

The Norwesters blend a mix of the old and new blending folk elements from Ireland, England, The Mediterranean, The Balkans and beyond into a modern context. Known for their high energy, high audience engagement and lovely smiles- they create a lighthearted communal experience at their shows that breaks down the barrier between performer and audience.

Wild East is an emerging indie/alt rock band from Christchurch who have spent the last year writing a catalogue of original songs, with their debut EP currently in production. Come catch some of their songs before they are let out into the world!

THIS THURSDAY 29 OCT
THINGS FROM MY BRAIN HOLE

Chris Lippy is back with another Stand-Up show that has music, magic and the greatest b**r drinking trick you have ever seen.

He has been digging deep in his brain hole and you will learn how Lord of the Rings could have been quite a bit shorter, How he plans to be New Zealands most famous dyslexic writer, and Why his biggest fear is being a foetus.

Maddening and unapologetic, sharp and obteuse (I think that's how you spell it. The thing where you're quite overweight)

Chris Lippy has been a regular on Backroom Comedy and hosts the Richmond Comedy Club and Marlborough Comedy Open Mic shows. He performs regularly at the Waa Haa and was an opener on the Gish tour. Fresh from recording a stand-up comedy TV show pilot, he's set to perform across the country.

SAT 24 OCT | THE JAM SESH

Prepare for an incredible night of loud, jam oriented music as four bands take the stage

Kicking things off, Jade Dogs set the tone with their filthy, grunge-soaked Brit rock

From there Rabbits will be taking over with post punk psychedelia, that is reminiscent of Led Zeppelin if they did more psychedelics

Next, Look Over There crank up the chaos, blasting through a set of experimental noise punk

Before Kenring lock down the headlining slot with a surge of hard rock that will make you question whether or not Jimi Hendrix reincarnated.
