Gig Information

We're here all weekend! Grab a festival pass, settle in and enjoy two days of the finest jazz you can find on these shaky isles. We're kicking off the first ever Leigh Sawmill Jazz Festival and it's a barn-stormer featuring the hottest jazz acts mixing and mingling for a weekend of stomping and parpin' good times! Tickets to individual sessions too!

Saturday Jan 18th:

3pm Love Square

8.30pm Hopetoun Brown

Sunday Jan 19th

4pm Carnivorous Plant Society

There will be special guests, brass players marching through the audience, wailing saxophone solos and epic drums crescendos to comfort your sunburnt soul! Take a breather from the action and go for a swim at any of the handy world class beaches then return to the mill for another round horn-charging goodness! On Saturday night you can dance to the Supergroove horn section as they transform into Hopetoun Brown, the hottest stompin' blues act to come out of central Auckland in years. Earlier on Saturday Nick Atkinson's new trio Love Square will take you on a jazz journey visiting the basement clubs of Addis Ababa, the dance halls of Jamaica and the highlands of Peru and Bolivia as this instrument swapping band curl their dexterous fingers around the melodies of Ethiojazz, reggae, Cumbia and Bolivian Chicha!!

On Sunday Finn Scholes unfurls his vibraphone tines and tuba chops across the stage for two blistering sets from his festival hit band Carnivorous Plant Society, featuring all the hottest session players from the cooking studios of Tāmaki Makaurau.

Over the weekend we'll have special guest dropping in like Phoenix Foundation drummer Chris O'Connor and Fat Freddy's trombone star Joe Lindsay to name but a few.... there will jams and swinging and hot licks all weekend. The Leigh Sawmill is the place to be come Jan 18th and 19th!!
