Upcoming Houseconcert 27 November
Acoustic Duo, Kim and Dusty, have been bringing their whisky harmonies to Wellingtonians since November 2013 when Dusty moved to Brooklyn, the heart of the Wellington’s country music scene.
The duo play a blend of Country, Blues, Bluegrass and Folk. Audiences are captivated by their tight harmonies and easygoing nature onstage. Kim and Dusty always deliver something for everyone with dirty blues, lonesome ballads and high paced bluegrass standards. Regular performers at several venues around Wellington they also make time to tour to other towns around the lower North Island.
Our house concerts are family friendly events with personal flair. Seating is casual and if you feel at home we're happy. Children are very welcome.
We will provide nibbles and unlimited tea - and you are welcome to bring you own drinks or food.
Weather permitting, we will spill out onto the deck and the lawn - and you are welcome to tour the gardens, listen to the frogs or spend a quiet moment in the bush. While the concert will finish on time, you are welcome to linger - bring an instrument for a jam or just dream by the fire. Summer will have songs around the brazier as the stars come out and we can always fire up the barbie.
Suggested koha for the musicians: $15
Playing at the Rabbithole, Akatarawa, 27 November 2016, 7.30-9pm
Please email us if you'd like to come and we'll send directions: natalie@therabbithole.co.nz

ALEXANDER ROAD SPEED LIMIT
Alexander Road in Trentham-Wallaceville of which 50% separates a golf course from a military encampment enclosure and the rest has mostly high fenced off industrial and residential areas on both sides, should have a 70km speed restriction.
Only a short time ago the road had a 80km restriction and was reduced to a pedestrian 50km much to the frustration of many. It has never been an accident prone stretch of road.
The several round-abouts ensure speed is reduced to 30-40km when these things occur.
I recently stayed a few days in Feilding - often given the title of the best town in NZ - and one of the lengthy main streets has a 70km speed restriction despite a predominance of unfenced residential properties on both sides.
