Waiheke International Jazz Festival

Tickets are selling fast for the Good Friday Groove, happening at Rangihoua Estate on Good Friday, 25th March.

Local heros, beautiful song crafters, rampant horn sections and outright funky grooves make for a very special day — this is possibly our best line-up ever for the Good Friday Groove!

Sean Donnelly’s superb group SJD is followed by one of the most entertaining and absolute favourites of this Festival SAL VALENTINE & THE BABYSHAKES.

Next up — one of New Zealand’s truly international stars, LAWRENCE ARABIA and his band hot on the heels of their UK release tour.

We move in to top gear with Melbourne’s top show band the hugely talented, hilarious and downright funky 10 piece SEX ON TOAST — (check out their latest video here)

Then we wrap up the show with TAHUNA BREAKS — one of the new generation of New Zealand acts who, like Fat Freddy’s Drop and Shapeshifter, have carved out an international following in Europe!

What a line-up! What a show!
