Turkey The Bird flocking into Hawera and Whanganui

After a wild weekend in Tauranga and Coromandel Turkey The Bird are migrating south this week for a show at the Hawera Repertory Theatre on Saturday 6th May and a house concert in Whanganui on Sunday 7th May. Tickets to the Hawera performance can be found on Eventfinda.

“These guys are unpretentious, fun and very good at what they do” – Winston Watusi, The Weekend Sun

New Zealand’s folk trio Turkey The Bird will remind you of the famous Margarita cocktail infused with a hint of Simon & Garfunkel, 2 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.

Hailing from the New Zealand left coast town New Plymouth, 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.
