Introducing The Flaming Mudcats
“Blues sunny side up, easy -over, spicy or funky it’s all on the menu with these guys.”
A firm favourite in Auckland’s Blues scene, The Flaming Mudcats are a band that is well versed on what it takes to please a crowd, exhibiting levels of professionalism and musicianship that makes it easy to become a dedicated fan.
It’s as distinctive as it is powerful, and has been influenced by a diversity of musical styles, which manifests itself into a unique musical hybrid as the band swings and shuffles taking you back to another time.
While their music may sound vintage, their attitude is definitely current.
Harmonica ricochets through the mix, incorporated with Jimmie Vaughan and Ike Turner-inspired guitar licks and backed by the band’s hard working rhythm section (who are neither too loud or too showy), prove that the Mudcats are a band attentive to detail and which puts a premium on ensemble playing; a tradition that is rapidly becoming obscured and in a way which is rarely heard today.
They confidently move through different components of the blues — shuffles, soul, funk, four on the floor rock and roll and low down blues.
It’s plain to see right away that these guys love the music they make together.
The Flaming Mudcats play the blues not just like they mean it, but like they have no choice in the matter.
Anyone who argues that good blues is getting hard to find has never heard of this band… chances are you couldn’t find a tighter good time band.
Their mission is to smile in your face and then kick you in the ass, musically speaking.
They succeed.
Audiences have bruises to prove it!
Everyone can identify with the Mudcat’s brand of blues; it’s just that not everyone knows it.
Influences
The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Little Walter, Jimmie Vaughan, William Clarke, George Smith, Doug MacLeod
The band is fronted on vocals and harmonica by Craig Bracken with Doug Bygrave providing the six string firepower. Anchoring these two, is drummer Ian Thomson and “newbie” bassist Chris “Kit” Parfitt. With two highly-regarded albums of mostly original material, – 2011’s Gave You What You Wanted” and 2013’s “Mistress”, these guys are just getting started.
Formed in 2008 in Auckland, the Flaming Mudcats are now regarded to be one of New Zealand’s premier blues acts. They have taken their show to festivals and clubs throughout NZ, Australia, USA and the Pacific Islands. Their energetic live blues sets blend original material and covers drawn from their eclectic influences….a raw life potion of killer grooves, blazing licks and harp wizardry. Butt-shakin belters to soulful grinders with everything in between….welcome to the Flaming Mudcats show.

The Award Winning Recliner Rockers, an immensely entertaining and popular act that have toured NZ, playing at The Hokitika Wild Foods Festival, Whitianga Scallop Festival, Burt Munroe Festival Invercargill,Beach Hop, Kowhai Festival Warkworth, Rotorua Blues Festival Kumeu classic car show,and top corporate events around The Country....and much more!
They have Recently won the Face TV best Group of the Year Award 2016
The Recliner Rockers history begins in 2005 when Al and Geoff were playing together in a covers band and started talking about their love of rockabilly, blues and other roots music.
Putting on a colourful, energetic show just came naturally with Al's seriously dynamic guitar playing and Geoff's crazy spinning double bass acrobatics.
Along with Steve's flamboyant drumming and Bruce's smooth sax style, their flare for showmanship truly matches their musical prowess.
The first gig of note was the Whangamata Beach Hop in 2006, where the venue they played was filled to capacity and people were being turned away from the door. The Recliner Rockers with their
repertoire of covers and originals quickly became a favourite and have been invited back every year since.

Introducing The Slow Water Band
The Slow Water Band are an authentic Irish / Celtic Band with a twist of Folk as well..
They are all experienced Musicians and have been performing throughout the Country for many Years
They are all experienced Musicians and have been performing throughout the Country for many Years
The Slow Water Band has brought Celtic music to the Hibiscus Coast. The music of Scotland and Ireland, the Isle of Man and as far afield as Nova Scotia can be heard ringing out in the North Shore villages and pubs and clubs. All of their musicians have played in other bands and other genres but their heart has found its home in Celtic music.
This is stirring music, whether on the main stage at a music festival, in someone’s front room, or at a Session in a pub.
The lead vocalist and guitarist, Alan Wagstaff, has played in rock bands, folk bands and Irish bands.
Stephen Cope is their accordionist extraordinaire. He is one of the best in the business and is well known in the Auckland music scene.
Sarah Poppe, the fiddle player, is a music teacher by day, a jazz violinist and an exciting fiddle player by night! She can often be seen wandering amongst the tables like a gypsy fiddler.
Ruth Wagstaff plays true Celtic instruments: the bodhrán (an Irish drum) and a variety of Irish whistles.
Whatever your mood they draw you in with rousing Irish pub songs, to get you singing and dancing, then change the mood with the more soulful Celtic sounds.

Hibiscus Coast and playing The Biggest Pub Gig in the World at Spark Arena in December. In January 2021 audiences loved
them at the Summer Concert Tour series of shows in Queenstown, Taupo and Whitianga. In March they will appear at the
Selwyn Sounds festival in Christchurch in front of an expected audience of 10,000 and the Auckland Craft Beer Festival at Spark
Arena.
The current Hello Sailor line-up is as close as fans will get to Sailor’s classic sound. Powered by the indomitable rhythm section
of Rick Ball on drums and Paul Woolright on bass, they have the Sailor energy and attitude. Harry Lyon and Jimmy Taylor take
care of the weaving guitars, Stephen Small on piano and Andy Dixon on saxophone complete the package. Their shows feature
Hello Sailor, Pink Flamingos and Graham Brazier favourites, hit songs from Harry’s back catalogue and his 2018 critically
acclaimed hit solo-album “To the Sea”.
