On Friday, 31 January, we are privileged to have the combined acts of Tattletale Saints and 10 String Symphony playing at Whangateau Hall.  This is going to be an AMAZING night of Folk/Americana music.  Tattletale Saints came out and played for us last April on their album-release tour.  That album has since been nominated for the NZ Tui Folk Album of the Year, and the song “Complicated Man” from the album was nominated for the APRA Song of the Year.  10 String Symphony are a duo from the US, and the combination of the two sounds promises to blow all our socks off.  Tickets are available at the door or through eventfinder.co.nz, $15, under-10s free, show starts at 8:00 pm.
