As of November, the Live & Local concerts are moving to the second Friday of the month, so mark that date from here on in. Always a great night out, you’re assured of the pick of Raglan’s talented singer-songwriters, poets, comedians and more. And all for koha entry!
Each month we showcase three local acts: professionals and amateurs, newbies and old hands. November sees the return of Nicky Keys. Nicky played Live & Local last year and not only is he a keyboard wizard but he has a great line in humourous tales and was a very popular act last time he appeared. A long-time resident of Raglan, Nicky has over 25 years of experience in the music industry playing keyboards for bands such as Cornerstone Roots, Lost Tribe Aotearoa and Native Sons.
November’s Live & Local will also feature songwriter Tim Grimes. And for something completely different, hula hoop artiste Evelyn Coulson is putting together a bracket of circus skills acts.
On Saturday November 12 West Coast Jazz play their 10th anniversary concert. Door-sales for this are very limited. Doors open at 7pm and first in will be the lucky ones.
Actor and writer Judi Billcliff brings her show “Old Chicks Rock” to the Old School Arts Centre on Sunday November 27. What does a children’s performer do when a pandemic gets in the way? She reinvents herself as an entertainer for grownups and writes her own one-woman comedy.
Guaranteed to make you chuckle. “Old Chicks Rock” is a tongue in cheek look at life through the years, from the heady heights of young love, to the challenges of romance as mature women. It’s a real, genuine and at times saucy comedy about life and the ageing process – libido issues to menopause and mammograms, looking back at how our lives used to be before gravity took hold. Nothing is sacred! Judi is ably supported by the talented muso Helen Stewart.
Recommended for mature audiences: not suitable for children.
