Beginners 10 - 11am (one hour); or Intermediate + 1 - 3pm (two hour).
Space is limited - book in time for Sunday 24 August 2025 ...
Step into the rare air of mandolin mastery with Nathan Torvik, one of New Zealand’s most quietly brilliant multi-instrumentalists. These workshops are shoulder-to-shoulder with a true maestro.
Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned picker, Nate helps develop your skill whatever your level.
His approach is intuitive, flexible, and energising. He shares a range of everything from cerebral theory insights and practical techniques to hot licks, jam grooves, and even the occasional musical mind-bender.
🎵 Chord inversions
🎵 Finger-blistering lead tricks
🎵 Tailored tips based on your experience level
🎵 Easygoing jam time and spontaneous learning moments.
Known for his work across numerous lineups and styles,
Nate brings a rare mix of technical firepower, theoretical depth, and playful warmth. This isn’t a lecture—it’s a launchpad.
“He’s pretty damn good at making sure everyone walks away with something valuable. It’s not just a workshop—it’s a musical awakening.”
This is a special chance to learn from one of the country’s most respected 'string whisperers'.
Beginners $20/$15 unwaged / Intermediate+ $30/$20 unwaged

Artificial intelligence programs such as ChatGPT are here to stay - the question now is, how will they shape the future? Will the use of AI to complete daily tasks, particularly school work, impact cognitive abilities and creativity?

Recent work out of a MIT Media Lab suggests that people who used ChatGPT have lower brain engagement than those who did not when writing their essays. While the MIT Media Lab work has driven headlines recently, others have been quick to remind us that the fear of technology is nothing new.

We want to know: Is AI an addition to the technological toolbox, or should we be having bigger conversations about the impact of AI technology?

Saturday 12 July 2025 Come along for the House concert vibe...
Turkey The Bird is one of New Zealand’s fabulous folk trios. They will remind you of the famous Margarita cocktail infused with a hint of “Simon & Garfunkel”, two ounces of “Mumford and Sons”, a splash of banjo, and served on ice on a sunny day.
Catchy folk songs with stunning rich melodies and effortless smooth lyrics. Songs that tell uplifting stories about love and life. Check out their you tube video Everybody Needs A Little Sunshine , and with NZ Sign Language – it’s so cool! www.youtube.com...
This uplifting band will hit you with beautiful three part harmonies and toe tapping rhythms. The bearded trio features Andre Manella from Switzerland on guitar, bass and percussion, Adrian Whelan from Ireland on guitar, mandolin, bass and spoons, and Sol Bear Coulton, the token Kiwi, on Banjo and slide guitar.
“injects hoedown-showdown fun, fun, fun and the harmonies shine like diamonds.” Paul Cook, Joyzine UK
“That’s Turkey The Bird, great band, just love them” Jesse Mulligan RNZ
“This is simply divine” Jack from Flash-Trax com
“These guys are unpretentious, fun and very good at what they do” Winston Watusi, The Weekend Sun
“This is not sad cowboy Americana neofolk, this is refreshing Kiwiana newgrass” … “Bouncing jokes off each other like Forest Gump playing table tennis” … “The charisma is infectious, the fun is contagious” Patrick Loughran from Muzic net nz
