‘It was a dream I dreamt up while in the throes of having a newborn and being in lockdown once again. I have been wanting to perform with the NZTrio for as long as I can remember. And it seems like the perfect pairing as I prepare to record my 4th album in August. I think the marriage of my band and I, and NZTrio is going to make for some real magic and I can’t wait.’ - Nadia Reid

Last year, Elemental Nights hosted the Flying Nun 40th Anniversary Show up in Tāmaki Makaurau and graciously granted us the use of the beautiful Town Hall. This year they are back and blessing us with another string of shows at the venue from an array of amazing musicians that we are thrilled to see on the bill. A true gift for the Auckland night life and such a diverse range of shows to choose from.
