MUSIC FESTIVAL. 20-22 April.
|
The festival that has something
for everyone has more to offer the over 25s this
year. Jazz, classical, world and folk music are
big on the 2007 bill. Usually they will play in
smaller venues that give the audience a more intimate
experience.
If you sat all day Saturday at the Bowls Club you
would see the gypsy violins of Tzigas; world music
by Babylon Bicycle and Blackwood; the bluegrass
sounds of Dev'lish Mary; jazz by The Fallingwater
Trio, Yggdrasil and Misinterprotato; the folk and
grooves of Loren; and the unbelievable voice and
sounds of Mihirangi, here for an encore performance
following her sensational debut at last year's festival.
Although the Catholic Church can seat a large crowd,
it retains a cosy feel. Its acoustics are superb
and the natural light streaming through the stained
glass windows gives the space extra warmth. It's
an ideal venue for the classical compositions of
Rae Howell of the Sunwrae Ensemble, who has written
pieces specifically for the festival. The Silo String
Quartet also plays at the church, as do folk guitarist
David Ross Macdonald and singer-songwriter Chloe
Hall, who appears with James Hazeldon.
Iluka Cafe supports a brace of solo acts, including
blues ace Lloyd Spiegel, young troubadour Brendan
Welch, big sound dynamo Juzzie Smith and Justin
Carter, last year's winner of the young songwriter's
competition. Reverb-heavy guitarist Ben Rogers and
country stylist David Holmes front trios on the
Iluka bill.
Local line-ups play all Saturday the Surf Club.
James Butt, TJ Vox, Counterfit. M2W3, Jasupa, Spyndrift,
Crossfire and the Ziggi Trio are some of the acts
to be seen at the venue with the best view of them
all.
If big venues and loud music are not your scene,
the festival provides plenty of world-class acts
in venues that keep it calm and cool. |
