If you had to buy tickets, they’d probably be sold out by now. But this Friday’s Nikki Ngatai’s Musical Affair at Charlie Farley’s on Waiheke Island, is totally free and promises to be a night to remember. A Musical Affair will feature Nikki and her band and she will also be joined on stage by the likes of Aaron Carpenter, Ian Simpson, Lani Lewis and Gina Higham to name but a few.
Nikki who regularly indulges in her fantasy of “playing really loud” as the guitarist for local rock band Swoon has recently started to write her own material again.
“I’ve been influenced a lot by Swoon and the songs we’ve written together” says Nikki “and I’ll be playing new material and sharing the stage with local musicians who have supported and influenced me.” Nikki has also been working on some alternative takes of songs from other artists who have been influential in the music she writes and enjoys.
Nikki Ngatai’s Musical Affair is at Charlie Farley’s in Onetangi, on Friday 25 July from 8pm.
