SUMMARY:Thomas Loefke @ East Coast Folk Club
DESCRIPTION:Islands in the North Atlantic\, like Tory Island – the Irish island of legend and myth\, the Hebridean Islands in the Northwest of Scotland or the wild archipelago of the Faroe Islands situated between the Shetlands and Iceland – these are the places where harpist and photographer Thomas Loefke spends a considerable amount of time every year to compose music. Dramatic coastal landscapes\, the wide open space of the Atlantic ocean and the ever changing sky reflect in the pieces of music created there. \nThe tunes are accompanied by photographs Thomas took during his travels to the islands and by a bunch of amazing stories\, a combination which makes this solo program a very entertaining show indeed. \n Thomas learnt his trade in Dublin from Ireland’s leading harp players – Máire Ní Cháthasaigh\, Helen Davies and Áine Ní Dhúill. Since 1984 he has been playing professionally and has won several international prizes\, including first prize at the O’Carolan Harp Festival. He regularly tours with Riverdance-violinist Máire Breatnach\, with Colorado based cello/guitar duo Acoustic Eidolon\, with Faroese fiddle player Angelika Hansen as duo Norðan and as soloist.    \n

SUMMARY:Tunks & Cave @ Mo's Bar
DESCRIPTION:Once labelled the Black Sand Diva of Auckland Wild West Coast\, and now a Northland based musical gypsy – songstress Cat Tunks joins her musical partner and co conspirator – the renown NZ guitar virtuoso Craig Cave – for a journey back to the big smoke and an afternoon in the wilds of Federal Street .\n\nThe two have fast been gaining attention since pausing their solo careers and joining up as partners in a love of music & life – bringing together the harmonies of soul\, gospel\, blues and country folk in a musical melting pot – like an acoustic mulled wine straight to the senses.
