@theblackseeds Are one of my favourite kiwi bands of all time! Their music is like summer in bottle, good tunes for good times :)) βοΈ π»
This tune is from their 2006 Album 'Into the Dojo'

It's about 40 years too late, but I always thought this end section of the 'Herbs' tune 'Long Ago' deserved a bit of a sax solo. π· πΏ
*Been going through a bit of a kiwi music binge atm. Give me recs for ur favourite kiwi songs/bands/artists old or new!

Quiet late night practice learning new reels and jigs for the @ponsonbysocial gig on the 12th of March.
This one's a happy reel entitled Bonnie O'Whalsey.
From what info I can find it is originally from the Shetlands and is inspired by a small fishing village called Whalsey, which, was nicknamed the Bonnie Isle by fisherman in the early 19th century because of its abundance of flowers along the coastline. Flowerππ£:))
Hey everyone! I have a show next month on the 12th of March at @ponsonbysocial and would love to see people there! π
I'm playing with my folk influenced jazz band,'Keiko and The Friendly Whalers'π π³
We'll be playing a set of originals and arrangements of my favourite Celtic songs, old and new.
Tickets are on under the radar link in my bio. ($20 GA, $15 Unwaged)
Setting sail with these wonderful musicians! β΅οΈ

I'm super excited to be playing with a brand new band, 'Keiko and The Friendly Whalers', this coming Thursday at 8-10pm at @audio.foundation . This is a part of the new(ish) curated @_theloom_ series that started up this year. π
I will be playing some new and old tunes as well as arrangements of some folk music that I love dearly. β€οΈ
I would love to see you there if you can make it out on a Thursday night! The band and I will be playing the second set of the night with @_________________michael playing solo piano for the first, so don't miss out on that!

Thanks for all the support on the debut single for @tuitheband . 2k listens on a song may seem small, but it means the world to us!
I'm super grateful having these guys in my musical life. Here's to many more musical releases....(swipe right for a small surprise) π π
