‘Sons of a Bitch’ & Mel Parsons Wool Shed Tour 2016
A Brand New Double Bill Show
That’ll Blow Your Ears Back!
Woolsheds. Not
just for sheep. Following sell-out tours from the deep south
to the shallow north of New Zealand since 2012, the team who
brought you “The Bitches’ Box & Mel Parsons” are
excited to announce a brand new double bill show down on the
farm in 2016 - ‘Sons of a Bitch’ & Mel Parsons
promises an unmissable evening of music, theatre
and comedy, complete with BBQ and bar - coming soon to a
wool shed near you!
‘Sons of a Bitch’
From the makers of The Bitches’ Box comes a
hilarious new show featuring a swag of delightful (and
disgusting) dogs. Country bumpkin Amelia Dunbar & city
slicker Emma Newborn once again take to the stage, in an
attempt to bridge the urban/rural divide the only way they
know how...by playing dogs. Join them as they present their
signature, fast paced, multi-character, new show
’Sons of a Bitch’. The side- splitting
sequel to the 5-star gem ‘The Bitches’ Box’ - a hit
with audiences from Edendale to Edinburgh, from wool sheds
to glittering festivals worldwide.
Mel Parsons
After a huge year in 2015, Silver Scroll
finalist and ‘Fly My Pretties’ star Mel Parsons brings
us a new solo show following on from her critically
acclaimed & award-winning new album ‘Drylands’. With a
razor sharp wit and deft hand on the guitar, one of NZ’s
favourite globe trotting singer-songwriters presents a swag
of new songs (plus old favourites) to fall in love with.
The Tour
Travelling by trusty horse
truck (and carting a bar, 200 chairs, stage curtain, props,
full production equipment and crew along for the ride) the
talented trio will capture audiences once reserved for the
likes of the Topp Twins, Fred Dagg, and Murray Ball,
transforming working wool sheds throughout heartland New
Zealand into real-life show spaces for an unforgettable
night in the country.
Community Get Together
Each show will be preceded by a fundraiser BBQ
run by the local school or community group - come hungry and
support your local kids! A cash bar serving beer and Allan
Scott wines will also also be open throughout the evening.
Tickets
Tickets are on sale at eventfinda.co.nzDue to shed sizes,
tickets are very limited for each show and will sell out
fast. Please book online to avoid missing out, as it is
unlikely there will be door sales.
