In late 2007 a bunch of Wellington musicians got together in an old woolshed in the Takaka Valley to record some songs. From this summertime project The Woolshed Sessions band and album was born.

Distinguished by lashings of lap-steel guitar, lush vocal harmony sing-a-longs, taonga puoro and banjo punctuations, The Woolshed Sessions is a fresh approach for New Zealand songwriting.

Date: September 16, 2008
Where: Happy Bar & Venue, Wellington (cnr Vivian St and Tory St, down steps)
$ 15 / $ 10

WHO: Asni – formerly a world-travelling harper who settled down in Wellington five years ago and now presents her first New Zealand solo CD release featuring an unusual combination of medieval, traditional, contemporary and original harp music with Maori traditional taonga puoro (performed by Alistair Fraser).
Support: Tahu – Henare Walmsley, taonga puoro & Mike Hogan, guitar.

WHY: Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience Asni performing live!
