WHITE CHAPEL JAK - LABOUR SUNDAY MATINEE
come have a sing a long and dance with the whole whanau
Always a goodie with WCJ!

SOLD OUT Comedy chameleon Tom Sainsbury - social media sensation and star of Taskmaster NZ, Wellington Paranormal and Snackmasters - takes the stage with a brand-new hour of outrageous storytelling. From cringeworthy life lessons to small-town drama and the quirky characters that shaped him, Tom serves up big laughs with heart, charm and just the right amount of scandal.

It’s candid. It’s Kiwi. And it’s very, very funny.

‘’Voom is FUN. Buzz Moller is FUN... you feel as though you’re perpetually in the ending sequence of a 2010s-indie flick (in the best way possible). The guitars carry the emotional core of the songs, and the vocals pull in and out as if adrift at sea.’ Under the Radar

And! they're roping in psychedelic folk sensitive cowboy, Tom Lark and his good time band for a bit of a knees up.

Rolling in thick with bottom end, glitchy beats and soaring harmonies, expect to be taken on a journey across genres. From blues drenched dub, chunky skank reggae to jazz hop and ragga dancehall, SUB-TRIBE leave no groove base unturned. 

Come have a goooood old Sunday arvo dance!

From the heart of Southland, alt- country troubadour Lachie Hayes brings his band and soul-stirring sound to town to promote the release of his debut album. Gritty grooves, soaring ballads, and a stage presence that’s all southern charm.
