The waves of memories and support have really hammered home just how special our friend and bandmate was, to us and to all of you.

Thanks for the messages and the check ins. We are slowly coming to terms with our new reality and what lies ahead.

On that note, we have decided to play our show at the Waipu Caves this Saturday. It will be a tough gig, but we know he would have wanted us to follow through.

Ryan Tomov will be filling in on the bass so we sound just as we, and he, would have intended.

It won't feel the same without him.

Chris, Pascal and with us in spirit, Micheal.

🌸 What’s Blooming Wednesday – Kōtukutuku (Tree Fuchsia)! 🌿

Have you spotted our native Tree Fuchsia growing around Waipu Caves Farm Park? 👀

Kōtukutuku (Fuchsia excorticata) is a unique native tree with flowers that change from greenish-yellow to reddish-purple, eventually producing dark purple berries.

Did you know? Its berries are an important food source for Kererū, Tūī and New Zealand Bellbirds, helping support our native wildlife and forest regeneration.

Through predator control targeting rats and possums, we’ve seen fantastic recovery, with Kōtukutuku growing abundantly across the farm park!

It’s so rewarding to see our native bush thriving. 💚

Have you spotted Kōtukutuku in your own backyard or out on a bush walk? Let us know below! 👇

Join us at Waipu Caves Farm Park for an evening of live music inside the incredible Starburst Cathedral, deep inside the Milky Way Glowworm Cave.

It's not every day you get to enjoy live music inside of a cave, and with Halloween falling on the same night, it's going to be a pretty special evening, with fun quirky indie folk group Albi & the Wolves bringing their own unique energy and sound to the cave as our headlining act along with soulful indie duo Sam and Carina de Vetter and young rising stars throughout the evening

Following the sad passing of Albi & The Wolves band member Michael, we will also be taking time to honour and remember him as we come together for a night of music.

It's going to be a very special evening, and with a few tickets left you won't want to miss out.

If you have been thinking of coming along, now's the time to grab your tickets before they are gone!
