Live music.
Every month.
Katikati Folk Club.
Our monthly concerts feature a broad range of musical styles and genres – from traditional folk to bluegrass and country, a cappella to blues and jazz, solo performers to seven-piece line-ups… and everything in-between.
Blending the richness of Te Reo Māori with musical influences from around the globe, WAI.TAI creates an experience that is as thought-provoking and soulful as it is energising and rhythmically dynamic.
Fiddle-centric folk, from foot-stomping to heart-wrenching and everything in-between; compelling songs, tunes and harmonies that transcend genre and stylistic boundaries.
These are very casual, unamplified get-togethers, sitting around a large table and playing music.
Try out some new songs or show off some old favourites. Anyone who enjoys playing, singing – or just listening – is welcome.
Multi-instrumentalists Mike, Bernadette and Siobhan’s repertoire ranges from British traditional songs to contemporary bluegrass ballads, plus originals, with a strong focus on tight harmonies.
French-American Sonia Wilson and Kiwi-American Nigel Gavin weave French, Kiwi and American songs with their own original compositions and inspiration from their travels around the world.
Rufous Whistler deliver live performances bursting with energy, humour and lush, harmony-driven soundscapes that seamlessly blend country and folk traditions with modern innovation.
You, Me, Everybody is a who’s who of New Zealand bluegrass and Americana: some of the country’s best acoustic instrumentalists creating a new, dynamic sound that showcases the best of Americana in Aotearoa.
