We’ve got lucky with this lineup! Eating out, Fairy Dog’s & Ngaio joining us for a night of beautiful music that’s going to blow you away.

Eating Out - Very exciting new addition to Nelson’s Music scene, mixing some sort of indie folk/soul/dream pop/neo-psych/space-jazz type situation.

Fairy Dog’s Get - ready to howl at the moon ~ tasty all original disco funk jams, glitter, glam and cowboy boots.

Ngaio - Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ngaio Aida combines the hybrid sounds of indie-folk with a jazz-funk fusion. Drawing from an eclectic base of musical inspiration she performs a range of original and transformative cover versions.

Sold out this Saturday!

But come for burgers and beers anytime that’s not 8pm Saturday, unless you have a ticket for this event then you can come but if you don’t then you can’t come. That sounds so harsh but it’s important that I communicate clearly so we establish healthy boundaries, sorry I’m really sorry I wish you could come but it’s sold out so you can’t, you can’t come. sorry thanks!! Please come again a different time that’s not this particular time unless you have a ticket then you can come this boundary doesn’t apply to you. This worlds not fair and we gotta sticky together unless it’s this Saturday. Have a nice Sunday night we love you!!

FUNK, DISCO & HOUSE

Warm yer cockles up on a Saturday arvo you cocker spaniels an’ bring your puppies with ya.

We’ve got beats, burgers and beers to keep you and the whanau entertained from 4pm onwards.

For this one, think funk, soul and disco from two very well house trained Dj’s specialising in the art of warming up your vibe. Nil Trace AzadiO

So stretch off your hind legs, and dust off your downward dog, for a funky fun session whilst you chow down on the best burgers in town.

And if you stay late enough you might find yourself with the zoomies on the dance floor!

As always at the dog friendly, family friendly dogs bone!
