Gin Wigmore to perform at The Whiskey Bar for NZ Music Month
THE WHISKEY bar in Ponsonby is proud to present the line up for weeks four & five of WHISKEY LIVE series, which this year boasts a record 99 kiwi music acts over 25 nights in May & June, in celebration of NZ Music Month.
With more kiwi music on offer, fans will get the chance to see up to five acts a night, up close and personal in the intimate WHISKEY bar environment.
And with a new initiative just introduced, upcoming bands or solo artists have an opportunity to open for the supremely talented Gin Wigmore, at the grand finale of The WHISKEY LIVE series on Saturday June 2.
The “Beck’s Live Discovery at The Whiskey” encourages emerging artists or bands to enter, with public voting via Facebook determining the winner. Flights and accommodation will be provided if required (non Auckland based winner) as well as a selection of other prizes. Entries close 5pm Thursday 31 May.
