Turkey the Bird at Hilltop
Saturday 12 July 2025 Come along for the House concert vibe...
Turkey The Bird is one of New Zealand’s fabulous folk trios. They will remind you of the famous Margarita cocktail infused with a hint of “Simon & Garfunkel”, two ounces of “Mumford and Sons”, a splash of banjo, and served on ice on a sunny day.
Catchy folk songs with stunning rich melodies and effortless smooth lyrics. Songs that tell uplifting stories about love and life. Check out their you tube video Everybody Needs A Little Sunshine , and with NZ Sign Language – it’s so cool! www.youtube.com...
This uplifting band will hit you with beautiful three part harmonies and toe tapping rhythms. The bearded trio features Andre Manella from Switzerland on guitar, bass and percussion, Adrian Whelan from Ireland on guitar, mandolin, bass and spoons, and Sol Bear Coulton, the token Kiwi, on Banjo and slide guitar.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
