Complementing the Expressions Music Festival this Queen’s Birthday weekend is another intimate Kiwi music event in Upper Hutt. Juliet McLean is a singer and songwriter from New Plymouth, appearing with her band in a house concert at “The Rabbit Hole”.
McLean’s music is poetically described: “Imagine Natalie Merchant quietly meeting Nick Cave and softly leading him into a tango - sensual, soulful, a gentle reminder of the lost places of the heart. Juliet and her band playfully invite you to join this dance, threading through different jazz infused genres with her piano and vocal led music.”
Mclean's collaboration with Rob Ju (drums) Hamish Cameron (bass) and Richie Isaacs (guitar) began during recording sessions and has developed into a fine live performance - the skilful musicians navigating a course of virtuosity and restraint. They have played in theatres, clubs, bars and lounges, piano shops and parks, always delighting in the alchemy of live music.
Juliet released her EP "The Dance" in 2016 and has a new single out in June.
The venue is “The Rabbit Hole”, a lifestyle property in Birchville. The house concerts are part of the rich tapestry of life there that includes “wwoof” (World Wide Opportunities On Farms) hosting, Air BnB hosting, organic gardening and orchards and plenty of music as host Sean O’Connor is also a singer/songwriter with his own performing and recording projects.
Door sales are $15. To book contact Sean: seanoconnornz@gmail.com or 0223503969.

I am only one person and our policy makers are impressed most by numbers, the more of us that speak up the better.
Auckland City Council is looking to close Libraries (no matter what they say) as part of ‘across the board’ cost cutting! Libraries are a soft target.
I know from experience that the current library trendy changes are unprofessional and not even a valid system - I know that instituting ‘trendy new philosophies’ is a way of disguising other agenda – I know that counting numbers is a way to make a case for downgrading or disappearing a service! Does our Council have an undeclared agenda? I believe so!
We all always used have equal access to all the books in the Library under the traditional system, and we all managed to borrow books. We were always able to choose to explore other genre, the books were/are always there. It only needed us to go down an aisle that we hadn’t been down before.
• I and others like me, now have had our choices taken away we now have no choice but to trawl at length through every genre, eliminating everything we don’t want.
For those of us whose natural style of search is systematic genre based and for those of us who only read one or two genre the new layout is a messy, confined, time consuming, a mind numbing maze. Spots on spines won’t help as we still have to look through the whole of fiction looking for them. A public library is a ratepayer funded community service and should include and be accessible to all members of the community, as it once very recently was, and the traditional libraries still are! 300 Public Libraries in NZ only 30 have adopted this philosophy.
I don’t mind change and actively support change, as long it a result of a consultative process which results in including and being accessible to more people. The new layout is not as inclusive or accessible as it was prior to the trendy changes.
My Blog documents my interaction with Council and more details.
