Hot Potato Band’s larger-than-life brass collective is a breath of fresh air, setting a new bar for energetic and interactive live performances.

Finding home in Sydney, Australia, their positive coastal energy pushes euphoric boundaries in their bold quest to reignite acoustic instrumentation. HPB is un-bound by genres, stages and audiences. They are re-inventive of the traditional street brass band as a modern day dance machine and visual spectacle for all demographics with a strong sense of pride for their fun-loving, organic, and quirky musical nature.

Please note, the seats will be out of the flat section of the stalls (downstairs) to make room for dancing. 

The Beths are elated to announce the upcoming release of new album, Expert In A Dying Field. The band’s third LP houses 12 jewels of tight, guitar-heavy songs that worm their way into your head, an incandescent collision of power-pop and skuzz.

Ahead of the album’s September 16 release, The Beths share their new single ‘Silence Is Golden’. Filled with Elizabeth Stokes’ signature cut-to-the-bone lyrics alongside playfully chaotic, hook-filled melodies, ‘Silence Is Golden’ appropriately foreshadows an album that stands to solidify The Beths’ reputation as masters of their craft.

Dress Circle upstairs is allocated seating. Downstairs is General Admission and some seats are out to make space for dancing.

Much loved Los Angeles based, New Zealand singer-songwriter Gin Wigmore is returning home for a regional tour in March 2023.

Gin’s unmistakable raw and raspy powerhouse vocals will exhilarate fans with her rollicking stage presence and characteristic mix of pop, rock, blues and soul when she performs for her New Zealand fans next year.

For over a decade, Wigmore’s gift for song-writing has produced a fulsome body of emotive and fierce hit’s such as  ‘Oh My’, ‘Hey Ho’, ‘Black Sheep’ ‘Man Like That’, ‘Kill of the Night’, ‘Written In The Water’ and more recent tracks,   ‘Girl Gang’, ‘Woman’ and ‘HBIC’.

Gin Wigmore first came to global attention after winning the US International Song Writing Competition at the age of 18. She was the youngest and first unsigned artist to win the Grand Prize. She also became the first New Zealand artist to sign to Island Records and has since released four albums to critical acclaim. Her first album ‘Holy Smoke’ is certified 4 x platinum and her second, ‘Gravel & Wine’ 2 x platinum. Many of her best-known tracks (‘Kill Of The Night’, ‘Black Sheep’, ‘Man Like That’, ‘Girl Gang’) have been featured in commercials, film and tv shows around the world.

Gin’s latest single ‘Hand Over Heart’ written following the loss of her dog Indiana who was her best friend and faithful companion. ‘Hand Over Heart’ is a piano ballad about the deep love and affection we have for those who are closest to us and who share the good and bad times with us.

It’s a Frozen party!

Frozen 1 and Frozen 2 are undoubtedly two of Disney's greatest animated movies of all time. The soundtrack to the movies is stunning, and while the big songs like 'Let it go' have probably been overplayed in your house, you have to admit they are now classics!

Following a sell-out tour in July 2021, Showcase Entertainment Group, the producers of Dr Seuss's The Cat in the Hat and Madagascar The Musical, are bringing the magic of these songs to Theatre Royal Nelson for the first time in a concert for the young and young at heart.

Let It Go features the sisters Anna and Elsa in full costume, along with some of their popular friends from the Frozen movies. So feel free to dress up as Anna or Elsa... or even Olaf and come and enjoy this wonderful concert production of the songs from Frozen 1 and 2.

Please note this is a 55-minute concert, not a musical or dramatic production. Let It Go is not in any way affiliated or endorsed by Disney.
