Supported by Dragonfly up and coming local band. Cash bar for beer and wine as well as delicious food including sausage sizzle, ham rolls, cheese platters, berries with ice cream or bring your own picnic.
The Zimmermans have recently toured the North Island and brought the house down at every concert. One of the band's founders, Paddy Burgin, Says: From his early folk days through the periods of electric blues and rock to the more reflective later songs the Zimmermans tackle everything with a full compliment of guitars, drums, bass, keyboards, brass and – of course a harmonica.
The big band is made up of former players from the Mockers, Let’s Planet, the Wooden Box Band, and the Sneaky Feelings. Paddy Burgin said “ Bob Dylan can often be seen as a mysterious chameleon like character but his contribution to recent music history is unequalled by any other single musician.”
“So many of his great songs have been covered by others that people at our shows often find themselves singing along to a chorus they didn’t even know was written by Dylan.” “We dig deep into a few of the more obscure compositions by the master but of course there are some absolute Dylan bangers you could not get away with avoiding.”
While Dylan’s heyday may have been the sixties and seventies the Zimmermans are always surprised at the number of younger people enjoying their gigsA superb evening of barnstorming, live music with The Zimmermans - don't miss out - get your tickets now to avoid the queue on Sunday afternoon/evening.
Tickets from Eventfinda, the Masterton or Martinborough I-SITE Visitor Centres or from the Cobblestones front desk. Cash bar and delicious food for sale.

Tap Fusion opens Wellington Fringe Festival
New Zealand’s home-grown Tap Dance show, Tap Fusion, will be opening the Wellington Fringe Festival at the Hannah Theatre this weekend. The show is a unique collaboration of New Zealand’s top Tap dancers performing alongside artists of Street Dance, Swing Dance and live musicians. This will be the first time a Tap show has been seen at the Fringe Festival.
Tap Fusion is the work of former New Zealand Dance Champion brothers Brandon and Cameron Carter-Chan. They say the show is designed to expose the diversity of New Zealand artists through Tap Dance by inspiring, uplifting, and promoting the idea of creative collaboration, encouraging people to work with artists outside their social circle, and to increase opportunity and strengthen the arts community as a whole.
Tap Fusion is on at The Hannah Theatre, 12 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington on 13th & 14th February.
