Format

Many of you are familiar with the house concerts we've done under marquee over the years at Tauhara Sunrise. Everyone arrives around 7pm and we spend an hour socialising, drinking and eating around the bar & spa at the lodge. The first set kicks of at 8, and at around 9pm we break for 30 minutes for more eating, drinking and socialising. During the break you also have the opportunity to meet the musician and purchase CDs. The second set wraps up around 10:30 and is followed by more socialising for those who wish to stay.

Newcomers are welcome and the whole atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly.
