Get more wairua in your Wellington long weekend!
The NZ Soul All Dayer returns to Laundry Cuba Street in Wellington this Anniversary Weekend, with a quartet of the Soultearoa residents joining a host of Wellington's most soulful spinners for an all-day throwdown and celebration of soul music.
Over the course of the afternoon, evening and night, a quality selection of hand-picked DJs reach deep into their crates to play many of the shades of soul music, from classic soul, rare groove, funk and boogie, to northern soul, proper disco and much, much more besides.
Featuring:
- Jay Jeffrey (UK)
- Nyntee (AK)
- Kirsty Hargreaves (AK)
- Campbell Ngata (TGA)
- Mikki Dee
- The She Jays
- Pet Johnson
- Ian Footitt
There'll be the usual array of excellent refreshments and delicious food delivered all day long from the fine folks of Laundry Cuba Street; and, as is our way, we'll also be giving away free copies of the 'Soultearoa Shakedown' fanzine, selling exclusive Soul Tiki merchandise as well as playing more great soul and funk music than you can shake a jandal at.
A true celebration of soul music, the purpose of the NZ Soul All Dayer is to bring together like-minded lovers of real soul music while providing an inclusive, family-friendly atmosphere saturated with beautiful soulful music.
And remember - soul music isn't a genre, it's a feeling!
