DIRECTIONS TO GET THERE: https://www.rangihoua.co.nz/visit-us/getting-here/
Amongst the setting of beautiful Rangihoua Estate and Olive Grove we have the Waiheke Summerfest 2019 -- Approximately 600 years ago the Maori canoe called ‘Te Arawa’ landed at the coastal inlet below the Rangihoua mountain for rest and repairs at the end of her migratory voyage. Here she was relashed, hence the name ‘the day of renewal’ before the canoe carried on in its voyage to the Coramandel Peninsula
And So We Got Some friends Coming To Play In Summer On The Beautiful Waiheke Island!
Onstage under a summers evening we have the following acts:

This is music for an intergalactic future!
Respected around the world with an underground cult status, New Telepathics is about communication and pushing the boundaries. Drawing from soul, afrobeat, punk, electronica, jazz, dub and the avant-garde, New Telepathics takes you through a journey to protest the suffering and to celebrate the joy. They were mainstage at SPLORE 2018 this year and are
a
powerhouse of intense groove, New Telepathics' 12 piece line up is fronted by Darryn Harkness (Aotearoa), Nuel Nonsu (Nigeria), Phodiso (Botswana) and Sandy Mill (Aotearoa). With the rhythm and horn section's featuring some of New Zealand’s finest musicians.
THE SANDY MILL BAND
https://www.sandymill.com/…
Sandy is well known for her generosity as a musician and her breadth of talent and accomplishments. She is as proficient performing sixties pop melodies and harmonies for New Zealand super-troupe, The Bellbirds (with Victoria Kelly, Don McGlashan, Sean Donnelly) as she is improvising, using her voice as an instrument to recreate gregorian monk chants (with producer Flood reworking of Gary Numan’s Cars album), and across layered irregular time signatures in celebrated 90’s avant-garde, free jazz / dance quartet, Spacesuit. “Basement Jaxx asked me to scream and yell a lot. Not much singing went on in that session, but I learnt another way of approaching the recording process”, she laughs.
As one of New Zealand’s most noted vocalists and percussionists, it surprises most to learn Sandy has not had formal training bar “a few singing lessons”. An Audio Engineering and Music Production course at Tai Poutini (now MAINZ) developed Sandy’s understanding of the recording process “and how all the gear works”. Now teaching herself guitar and using piano to compose, which Sandy confesses she cannot technically play, “ but I can plinky plonk until I find the chords I’m after…”
This multi genre spanning artist has a wealth of New Zealand musician friends and fans that have rallied to shine a light on her incredible talent.
