Live Music at Le Cafe Picton Restaurant

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

Hey Guys,

A slightly obvious plug here as Indigo is my daughter, but I am all for promoting live music in Picton, so here goes – on Friday the 9th September at 8pm for the small sum of $5 Indigo Greenlaw will be singing, along with Blair Gibsone, freshly back from Aspen Colorado on lead guitar.  Should be a great night, so beat the winter blues and pop down to your favourite music venue, Le Cafe – awesome food and ambience. :)

Indigo is heading off to Europe again, so this might be the last chance to hear her for a wee while. <3

Celebrating Live Music at Le Cafe

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

Hi guys,

Just thought I’d give you Peter’s latest newsletter as he’s the man of the moment after the Marlborough Express article celebrating his involvement in encouraging live music in Marlborough, specifically at Le Cafe, and to let you know about the next upcoming musical offering at Le Cafe tomorrow Wednesday night. So here goes, I give you Peter Schoni:

“Hey folks!
The comments about the beautiful photo in the paper are slowly subsiding – why didn’t the papers turn up 20 years ago, when it could have granted some valuable contacts, when one was fit and indestructible??

Was trying to remember what my father looked like when he was my age. I had left school, into my second year as an apprentice chef, I already knew lots about most things important, was able to judge situations in a grown-up fashion, made mature decisions and generally had a grip on the scene – I was convinced! Also, my socio-political viewpoints were pretty much bang on unlike the majority of politicians and most authoritative powers that were! Funny how it’s actually still the same, aye. My viewpoints are still the closest to the point of just about anyone around, only now I’ve come to realize that that actually applies to most people’s idea about the way forward. Maybe that’s why we argue every now and constantly, us people! Dogs are no better or cats for that matter. Not sure fish fight over ideas or mating rights or whatever….? I know Crayfish are said to be territorially pre-occupied. Only they can re-grow limbs lost in combat- I’ve seen it!!

Anyhow, I was going to tell you about the two stellar instrumentalists that are performing here at LC tomorrow night. Wednesday 25th of May 2011 at 7:30pm

Anna Coddington & Julia Deans Live at Le Cafe Picton Marlborough

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

So guys,

The wind is howling outside, the fan palm by our door is being battered and the draught is cold under the door, all the more reason for something to look forward to, a night out.

On Friday 6th May 2011 at Le Cafe in Picton come and hear two awesome lasses of the New Zealand music scene, Anna Coddington & Julia Deans. They have both played previously at Le Cafe, but this time double the value as they are touring together  “Keepsakes Tour”, which promises to be one of the most enchanting tours of the year.

Julia Deans is surely the possessor of one of modern rocks most interesting voices; able to shift elegantly between soaring falsetto and assured growl. Known primarily as the charismatic front-woman of Fur Patrol, Julia released her debut solo album ‘Modern Fables’ in 2010 to critical acclaim. As well as being a world -class vocal talent, Deans has proven herself as a prolific songwriter, having being recently nominated for both the prestigious Silver Scroll Award and The Taite Music Prize.

Anna Coddington is one of New Zealand’s foremost heroines of independent pop music, as is evident on her debut solo album ‘The Lake’ (one of my favourite albums ever) and new sophomore release ‘Cat & Bird’.  Anna has been quietly kicking around New Zealand’s music scene for some time, fronting casually released pop gems by her former bands Handsome Geoffrey and Duchess and performing with musical collective Fly My Pretties.

Don’t miss two of the finest gems New Zealand music has to offer when Anna Coddington and Julia Deans come to Picton, Marlborough  for The Keepsakes Tour.

Book your table at Le Cafe 03 573 5588 and buy your tickets now – they will run out! You can buy them from Le Cafe right now.

Pacific Curls to play at Le Cafe Picton

Friday, January 21st, 2011

Hi guys,

Sorry for the silence our home has been filled with a series of travellers/family/couch surfers and I am only just surfacing, what can I say it has been exhausting but such good fun, but to cut to it…. music. On Friday 25th February Pacific Curls are to returning to play live at Le Cafe on London Quay overlooking the wonderful Marlborough Sounds. They have been touring in Canada. Their beautiful vocals with lyrics in Te Reo Maori, Rotuman and English and their unique combination of Scottish fiddle, Taonga Puoro, ukulele, cajon, guitar, klimba and percussion have captivated audiences wherever they have gone.

With its World-ribbed sounds, precise arrangements and a catalogue of songs that link the Pacific’s primal myths to Scotland’s mysticism, Pacific Curls – one Rotuman one Maori and a Scots – make music that is both worldly and enthralling, so come along to Le Cafe and see for yourselves. You know the deal, phone 03 573 5588 to book a table. Pacific Curls are on around 8pm I think, but do check with Peter or the front of house staff.

For now,

Tika
