​In addition to his Shamanic Dance workshop, we are also pleased to have Bob Hillary bringing his music to the Village Stage on New Years Eve. Bob is a folk singer-songwriter from the UK, who makes music that is Earthy, funky & positive, with a strong world music influence. He plays a fusion of folk, reggae, soul & world music blended into one sound.

He uses stomp box to make his beats, his wife sings beautiful deep harmonies and also plays percussion adding to the sound. He uses loops and dubs to fill out the folky sound adding a reggae dimension to it.
The sound is full, intricate & mellow dancey.

​Tsūa - a solo project of multi-instrumentalist, producer and improviser Dan Antell (earth). Once described as a "musical madman channeling divine love - alchemicalization of light and dark...!?!". From singer songwriter post-folkrock to digital electric eclectic evolving soundscapes with musical inspiration drawn from all over space and time who knows what may come out. Now is our time - polarity transformed into both and more. "Healing, light in the darkness, harmony in the storm. Now, to gift what has been given"

Molly Devine

Molly Devine is an exciting new artist from the deep south of New Zealand. Her reflective and observatory lyrics are underscored dramatically with epic texture and intricate melodies painting dense and cinematic sonic landscapes. Her voice is versatile and dynamic, she soars from a deep and soulful lower register up to an angelic and almost Theremin like upper register. She’s often compared with quirky artists like David Bowie and Kate Bush, although her sound is something very new and different. In December 2015 she released her enchanting music video for her single, Puppets, which was filmed in the Oamaru Victorian Precinct. Since then she has released her EP Planet Glitter - Phase One, a short (but soon to be expanded on) exploration of duty and time.

​Scattered Ashes is the live performance alias of Steve Carter, a writer, artist and musician who has a particular focus on work exploring the human condition. Formerly a Mental Health Promoter with the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand, and with a career dedicated to community development and activism, he has just released a new album 'A Question of Identity'. The album is designed to provoke dialogue about such issues as mental health, diversity and social change, with live shows presenting the songs as a narrative that shadows a journey of recovery and discovery. Listeners can expect equal measures of blunt honesty, self-effacing humour and incisive social commentary and are positively encouraged to join the conversation.

​International collective Mad Hallelujah Tribe travels the globe inviting audiences to join them on journeys of ecstatic, heartfelt, intricately crafted "Mystic Glory Folk."

Inspired by the wilderness, mystical & psychedelic experiences, and epic jams on the ramblin' road, their songs feature deep lyricism, big vocal harmonies & sing-along chants, infectious grooves, soaring string solos, and healthy doses of weirdness, humour, and improvisation. 

“Musical medicine, deeply tangible immersive gypsy folk, inducing uncontrollable limb flailing and feet stomping. Raw. Personal. Shamanic Ecstasy.” - Jake Graffy, Dancer, UK

THEY BRING THE JAM:
"We are all adept at and very keen to hold space for jams and spaces of magical musical expression... it's basically our favourite thing in the world to do! :-) "
