with Linn Lorkin and her Kiwiana Showband
Sunday 29 April
Don't miss this colourful mix of nostalgia, story-telling, and great song-writing. The unique and quirky creativity of this charming and dynamic entertainer (Jews Brothers Band, French Toast ) is in full force in her new show and brings to life the experience of growing up in rural and small town New Zealand with all its pathos and good humour.

Come join her family "At the Beach" and doing the "Family Picnic Samba' and celebrate the beauty of this land and some of its hard-case characters. A unique outing to the heartland of New Zealand and a delightful occasion that will also celebrate the recent release of her CD, Linn Lorkin's Kiwiana.

The Kiwiana Showband is a trio : Linn on piano with two of the Jews Brothers accompanying her, Hershal on accordion and piano and Nigel Gavin on 7-string guitar mandolin and banjo. Expect some quirky fire-works!

"A cultural treasure"
William Dart, The Listener

"Linn and Hershal work together as smoothly as chocolate and cream in a dance that is graceful as it is natural"
Peta Mathias, Hattie's Gig Guide

"By the time Family at the Beach, her best-known song, arrived we were smitten...... Her songs touched not only chords of surface recognition but also deeper resonances of emotion "
Shenagh Gleeson, Waikato Times

" How did a dairy farm in Tokoroa produce this larger than life character - this tiny slim creature with huge eyes and a great pair-a-lips - this tireless performer - this writer of gorgeous songs?"
