Delicous food on sale and cash bar for beer and wine. Why not book a gazebo for reserved seating with refreshments brought to your table.
Andrew London's quirky and whimsical songs reflect mainstream culture with gentle irreverence, and playfully lampoon many of society's obsessions and taboos. Themes run the gamut from rugby fans, driving habits, youth culture and weddings to male insecurities, technophobia, household appliances, pretentious socialites, and various other issues of concern to the average middle-aged, middle-class Antipodean baby-boomer. ‘Let’s Talk About Me’, ‘I Hugged My Mate’, ‘Middle Aged Man in Lycra’ - The titles say it all.
Delivery is wrapped in an easy-going and accessible 1940s-era ‘Hot Club Swing’ package, with occasional sallies into folk, blues and jazz; and the spontaneous banter transforms the show into more of an interactive cabaret experience for both performers and audience.
A book of 75 song titles has just been published under the title ‘let’s Talk About Me’, one of london’s most-requested songs.
London handles guitar and most vocal duties, accompanied by Kirsten London on bass.
For the Greytown concert, harmonica ace Neil Billington will be in the trio’s ‘third’ seat. London and Billington’s collaboration spans nearly 30 years, from their early Hot Club Sandwich days in Wellingtont o the present. More info at www.andrewlondon.co.nz...
Plus a superb opening set from Karen Clarke - all the way from Taranaki. Karen is one of New Zealand’s finest homegrown indie singer-songwriters. Firmly rooted where R'nB and Alt- Country collide she's well and truly earned her piece of the heartland acoustic music stage with decades of live performance and two albums under her belt.
Her strong, sometimes silky, sometimes sultry, smoky vocals over driving rhythm guitar commands respect. Fans enjoy hints of Billie Holiday, and Tracey Chapman in Karen's mahogany vocal palette as she channels Sister Loretta Tharp's 'mother of blues' on stage determination.
When performing she weaves warm, intimate audience connection via a blend of original work and upcycled favourites in shades of blue. You'll remember you've met.
This will be a stunning afternoon. Amazing cafe menu including Butter CHicken and Rice, Asaian Chicken Salad and Lasagne with Garlic Bread, as well as Berries and Icecream, Lamb Sliders and of course BBQ Sausages. Beer and wine on sale too. Book a gazebo for premium seating. Tickets at Eventfinda and from Cobblestones. Note we have a postponment date of 25 March if the weather is unkind.

The festival was postponed this month due to the response and on-going recovery after Cyclone Gabrielle as well as the ongoing unpredictability of the weather.
Board Chairman and former Defence Minister Ron Mark shared that “after the decision to postpone it has been a priority for the team to work with our key stakeholders to secure a new date. With today’s announcement we can get planning underway again to deliver a world-class Air Festival based right here in the Wairarapa. Our board and management team are both humbled and grateful for the incredible support that we have received from our partners, stakeholders, ticketholders, and the wider community.”
The festival takes place every two years, drawing crowds with a large aircraft display. It was scheduled to take place from February 24 to February 26.
Wings General Manager Carla Steed, confirmed “ticket holders will automatically have their tickets transferred to the new date, whilst those who are unable to make the new date will have a 14 day window to request a full refund. We really appreciate the support we have received, and hope that the community continues to get behind the festival.”
As well as the spectacular air display programme, Wings Over Wairarapa Air Festival also features the Take Flight programme – an interactive STEM education programme that provides engaging activities and demonstrations to school aged children on the Friday and is also available for all visitors on Saturday and Sunday. The aim of the programme is to inspire and engage tamariki and rangatahi to consider STEM pathways, with a large focus on aviation and aerospace.
