What a fantastic HBBC Club Night at Paisley Stage last Wednesday, beautifully captured once again by Hamish Stewart (Melting Pot Media)! Here's a selection of his shots.

As always, huge thanks to everyone who played and attended (especially to those who came a distance to join us for the evening - we welcomed musicians from as far afield as Taupō, Waipukurau, Gisborne and Wairoa).

See you on October 7th! 😎

Their high-energy performances have earned them a reputation as one of New Zealand's leading world music acts.

Featuring two trumpets, soprano saxophone, tenor and bass trombones, sousaphone, traditional Balkan bass drum (tapan), snare drum, and powerhouse vocalist and percussionist Nikkie Rich, the band creates an exhilarating wall of sound that is impossible to sit still to.

Their shows combine virtuosic musicianship, choreographed movement, theatrical flair, and infectious audience interaction that quickly turns every venue into a dance floor.

The band has performed at the internationally renowned WOMAD New Zealand festival, and their original music featured in the acclaimed film What We Do in the Shadows.
