Wellington’s premiere party for women and gender minorities is back at Ivy Bar on Friday September 14th 8pm with special
musical guest Randa.
Gather around the cauldron, witches, because COVEN is back! After a spellbinding launch over Easter, Coven is back and
more magical than ever. Providing a unique alternative within wellington’s queer scene, the Coven crew have created a
safe environment for women and gender minorities to throw down their cloaks and enjoy an evening of magical comradery
and first-class entertainment.
This month sees Auckland based talent “Randa” fly in to cast their spell over the party. Mainard Larkin is a rapper,
performer and oddball. After graduating high school and realizing he had no friends, Larkin began writing bedroom
projects under the name Randa. Recently opening for international artists such as Grimes and Le1f, Larkin’s live
performance has proved to be an exciting and authentically captivating extension of an infectious online music persona.
Hosted by Wellington’s iconic gay venue Ivy Bar, this event strives to welcome all who may usually feel out of place.
Conjured up for women and gender minorities, they kindly ask that perhaps you consider not attending if this does not
describe you. Let’s keep this night a safe, inviting community event for those who need it.
Joining the original creators Tasmin Prichard and Rose Kynoch are the powerhouse team at Hugo Grrrl and together this
menagerie of queer beings will bring you a night to remember. Dedicated to the ethos of such an event, Coven will be
reincarnated every two months throughout the foreseeable future, with a further November 27th date, and 5 dates
throughout 2019.
To further enhance this magical experience the Ivy bar crew have conjured up a special potions menu to whet your
appetite and arouse your senses. A ‘Cloak Check’ will also be available to keep your robes, brooms and paraphernalia
safe throughout for just $2.
Tickets available for a lucky $13 on Eventfinda or $15 on the door. Feast your eyes on the facebook event for more
details.
… something wicked this way comes.
