SUMMARY:David & Shimna + Adam & Marika @ Mt Eden Village Hall
DESCRIPTION:Expect some dazzling fiddle playing\, infectious grooves\, fun vibes\, and close vocal harmonies\, all in a family friendly show at the beautiful Mt Eden Village Hall. It’s not often you get two of New Zealand’s top violin and guitar duo’s putting on a joint show so make sure to get in quick! \nDavid & Shimna are an acoustic guitar and violin duo whose music has been described as “absolutely beautiful… perfectly played… fragile yet powerful.” Their sound blends intricate guitar work\, lyrical fiddle\, and close vocal harmonies into a powerful yet vulnerable experience for all present. \nDuo favourites at the recent Auckland Folk Festival – Adam & Marika bring both charm and exceptional fiddle and guitar skills when they hit the stage together. Performing stunning original compositions plus their own take on scottish and irish trad tunes\, the pair have quickly cemented themselves as one of NZ’s premier folk duos. While their backgrounds have strong trad roots\, you may just be treated to a touch of gypsy jazz and a song or three as well!

SUMMARY:Hot Diggity @ Rafters Music Club
DESCRIPTION:It would be almost impossible not to smile and tap your foot to the sweet sounds of New Zealand’s only all-female bluegrass group\, Hot Diggity. The band belts out a mixture of original songs by Heather Carrigan (mandolin\, guitar and vocals) and Deborah Mackenzie (guitar and vocals) along with plenty of bluegrass favourites. Backed up by Jenine Abarbanel (bass and vocals)\, Sue Drake (banjo and vocals) and Louise Evans (fiddle and vocals)\, they put out a powerful\, lively sound with hot instrumentation and tight harmonies.\nThe five Hot Diggity gals hail from throughout the North Island from as far north as sunny Tangowahine down to the heart of Auckland city. Their love of bluegrass means that while the miles might lie between them\, they load up the old wagon – Jenine’s trusty Toyota van which they dream will one day miraculously morph into a shiny red 1960 Holden Special (FB station sedan) – as often as possible for regular gigs and jam sessions.Traditionally bluegrass music has been dominated by guys with moustaches\, sharp suits and hats\, singing songs about being broken-hearted and the odd train. Hot Diggity brings a sparkle of feminine glamour and humour to the genre performing songs about breaking hearts and LOTS of trains… while kitted out in vintage style.\nThe band was formed in 2014\, but all five members are veteran musicians having played with numerous other bands in a variety of musical styles for years. In 2017 they released their debut album\, Worth the Wait.\nCome along for a sparkling night of music with Hot Diggity!\n\n\nProgrammeThe first half of the evening brings musicians old and new to warm us up before supper and our main guest/s. We welcome new performers. See Graham at the door if you want to perform\, but you will need to be there before the 8pm start.

SUMMARY:Lamentation for our Changing Climate @ Artworks Community Theatre
DESCRIPTION:A traditional Irish music and storytelling exploration of what is being lost to our changing climate\, and how we might channel the feelings this evokes to contribute more to what happens next.\n\nCountless slow airs and stories have been created and performed over many centuries to honour the passing of precious people and places\, connections and things. Our performance extends this tradition of reverence and care into what is happening all around us in our world today.\n\nAnd while the predominant flavours of these pieces are beautifully mellow and contemplative\, there is enough humour and lively enthusiasm mixed in to ensure an entertaining as well as heart-opening experience for you.\n\nOur intention in creating and bringing this show to Artworks during EcoFest 2026 is to provide a new way for you to feel (not think) more about our changing climate\, our changing world.\n\nFrom there\, who knows what is possible next? Something new\, perhaps
