~extra show announced~
due to popular demand, there will now be a 7pm session as well as the 9pm session.

The New Zealand International Science Festival is proud to present: Tiny Ruins, Solo Under the Moon.

Join us as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of acclaimed New Zealand songwriter Hollie Fullbrook’s debut album ‘Some Were Meant for Sea’ with this very special solo performance under Luke Jerram’s Moon sculpture, suspended in mid-air in Hanover Hall.

A rare blend of eloquent lyrical craft and explorative musicianship, the songs of Tiny Ruins have been treasured by crowds and critics for over a decade. Via an eclectic raft of influences, the musical world of Hollie Fullbrook and her band spans delicate folk, lustrous dream pop and ebullient psychedelia.

 Born in Bristol and raised in West Auckland, songwriter & multi-instrumentalist Hollie Fullbrook’s debut LP Some Were Meant For Sea (2011) featured her alone, and was quickly celebrated by radio playlists and blogs worldwide. The album’s clutch of “gorgeous vignettes” (BBC) put the artist on the map, and she took to the road to tour extensively through the UK, Europe and North America – often accompanied by musician Cass Basil on bass.

Fullbrook will play Some Were Meant for Sea in its entirety, with stories and background to the songs along the way.
