Tahu And The Takahes with Bill Morris and special guest Bikk
TAHU AND THE TAKAHES:
Rising from the sodden ground to fill your brains with swampy soul and blues: it’s Tahu and the Takahes! Dunedin singer/songwriter, native bird wrangler and mad scientist Tahu Mackenzie stitched this band together from dismembered parts and now it shuffles across the land in search of human hearts to feast upon; a peaty stew of country and blues with a touch of psychedelic zombie love for good measure. You can run but you can’t hide!”

BILL MORRIS:
Bill Morris is a songwriter with his roots in the alpine dirt of New Zealand’s South Island. His music strikes out for a new frontier of New Zealand folk music, drawing on influences from around the world. His songs are built on raw poignancy, twisted humour and musical heart. Bill ‘s debut album, “Mud” features Robert Scott (The Clean, The Bats) Rob Falconer (Shifting Sands), John Egenes and a host of other prominent Dunedin musicians.
“Bill’s songs stick to you like mud. He has a lyrical sensibility that is unrivalled by local songwriters; think Billy Bragg or Paul Kelly. His gritty presentation and wry observation make for compelling listening.” - Richard Dingwall, NEFC Dunedin
