C. Zukey, Luke Hurley & Hoop @ Ministry of Folk

Bring your own drinks and snacks, grab a table and settle down for a night of magic.

C.Zukey is originally from Canada and MOF first became aware of his wonderful talents back 2012 when his band was Farah Loux. He’s back with a sparkling, lush, warm and heartfelt album “Stone Fruut” produced by acclaimed New Zealand producer Mark Perkins.

Kiwi music legend Luke Hurley was once described as “New Zealand’s best unknown musician”. He’s influenced by the likes of Paul Simon, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, John Renbourne, Bert Jansch, Jimi Hendrix, Richie Blackmore and Robert Johnson. The Christchurch Star famously said “If Bob Dylan could play the guitar and sing… he would be Luke Hurley”. Luke now lives in Auckland and his current style of playing been described as “Indian tabla meets Irish rock”. According to Liz Barry: “Lukes style captivates the listener with gentle melodies, exquisite guitar technique and simple yet sometimes complex rhythms.”

MOF hosts, Hoop will deck the hall and kick things off with their acoustic pop songs featuring harmonious touches of fiddle, banjo and flute.
