Straight after work, head on in to the Ruby for the afterwork Honky Tonk with Mojo Mama and Neil Billington from 6.00pm easing you into your Friday night.
Then from 8.30pm the Stirling Hern Experience – Micheal Stirling (Petrie) and Geoffrey Hern
They’d kicked around for years before sitting down to write and create music together. Geoffrey on bass and vocals and Michael on guitar and vocals, that was twenty years and they’re still going strong.
They’ve toured in all sorts of covers and originals bands including Slam and Get back with the Beatles in the nineties, performing at some of the biggest public and private events around the country! They’ve also worked in their own bands in and around NZ and Australia but always keeping in close contact.
With this long working together in the entertainment industry this band can adapt to any given live situation. Seeing it is believing it! People can yell out a song and they’re likely to start playing it... everything from Blues, funk, country, soul, reggae or rock! They can read an audience - see who’s out there and pick a song that will rock the crowd
Their repertoire flows seamlessly between originals to covers and there’s something for everyone!
