Thistle Sessions: Live Tunes

Join us every Friday for live tunes to kick start your weekend. Showcasing talented Welly artists each week. Coming up...

Fri 3rd June: Danica Bryant
Sharply bitter and sickeningly sweet all at once, Danica Bryant is not your ordinary songwriter. Born to the fruitful music scene in Napier, New Zealand, her songs cover intense topics; and she has opened for major acts such as Elton John and Foreigner. A not-to-miss Thistle Sessions gig!

Fri 10th June: Benji & Markus
Benji and Markus form a dynamic duo comprised of Ben Gibbons playing the guitar and singing, and Markus McCraith on the Cajon and shaker. They play some of their favourite tunes from throughout the ages, arranged in hopes of making heads bop and feet tap. With moments of improvisation and a focus on adapting to the room, they pride themselves on always being authentic and having fun!

Fri 17th June: Dee (Stellarize)
Canadian singer/songwriter, Dee, who is the band leader of Stellarize, will be performing a solo set. Melodic Soulful folk/country vibes, Dee writes a lot of her own songs and puts a unique yet captivating twist on the songs she chooses to cover.

Fri 24th June: Dr Mike Blue
Originally from the UK, now based in Wellington, the versatile, talented, and award-winning, internationally touring Blues & Roots singer-songwriter Mike Dr Blue brings you old classics, original songs, guitar, harmonica, and a swinging bluesy pulse to accompany his raw-edged vocals.
