Wellingtons only hand drawn ales

Grand Prix, Punches, Over the Atlantic - Friday 19 May
A love of country music, racing cars and the trumpet makes for an unlikely, yet riveting, combination for Grand Prix.
Put it this way - if you love the Ennio Morricone soundtrack of the classic Western, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
(1966), doing donuts, and racing cars, then this is for you. Although, the band admit car racing is a metaphor for life,
rather than their being petrol heads.
High Dependency Unit – Saturday 20 May
HDU release their latest single Tunguska with support from Mestar. The song "Tunguska" will be familiar to fans who've
witnessed any of the bands increasingly rare live performances over the last couple of years. A seven minute sprawling
epic that burns slowly but brightly.
ODDFELLOWS New Zealand International Comedy Festival
The Festival Booklets are out now. The festival shows at Bodega begin on Wednesday May 17. Book now at Ticketek or
Bodega 384 8212.
Bodega Beer Imbibement Association (BBIA) - Underground Bodega - Monthly
Last weeks menu descriptors went along the lines of Eurolager, Kreik and something a little strong! Each month the BBIA
meet in the Bodega basement with a fine assortment of beers from regions of the world. Last weeks menu included: Boon
Kreik - Limburg Czeckmate, Matilda Bay Bohemia, Hoffbrau Oktoberfest - Orval, Monteith's Triple, Emmersons Taieri Gorge & Renaissance Stonecutter.
Connan and the Mockasins – Friday 26 May - UK Fundraising Gig
As the band kicks off there is hardly standing room and people are up on tables and windowsills, affording them a view
of the band, who are being swamped by the crowd. It feels like a private party rather than a public gig, and as the
girls up front sing along, you get the impression they are part of a staunch group of Connan junkies.
Why the devotion, the fidelity, and the adoration? It's the music!
Catch you soon,
Fraser, Tane, Jan, Cam, Sally, Gary, Dave, Ned, Steph, Rennie, Nick, Dani, Ants, Leifur and Polly
