  • Karioi Quilters

    Category: Art Group/ Drop In Session Karioi Quilters


    November 10, 2022

    Karioi Quilters - second Thursday of every month.

    The Karioi Quilters have been making high quality, natural fibre, artistic quilts for many years. A patchwork and quilting group, the members meet to share knowledge and skills and enjoy creating in good company.

    Members work on their own projects ranging from cot to queen-sized quilts. Many long enjoyable hours are spent working on intricate artistic fabric creations. A focus on pure natural fibres, especially cottons, results in high quality handworks which often become treasured family items. Group co-ordinator is Judy Levy.

    New members are always welcome to come along to these casual meetings to work on their own projects and learn quilting techniques from a group of very creative craftspeople.

    Meetings are held at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre from 10am to 1pm on the second Thursday of every month. So join them for a coffee and bring your lunch. Donation of $2 to help with the rent.

    Category: Music / Gigs LIVE & LOCAL at the Old School - November


    November 11, 2022

    LIVE & LOCAL FRI NOV 11 at Raglan Old School Arts Centre – upstairs in Whare Tapere
    Koha entry, 7.30pm, doors 7pm

    As of November, the Live & Local concerts move to the second Friday of the month, so mark that date from here on in. Always a great night out, you’re assured of the pick of Raglan’s talented singer-songwriters, poets, comedians and more. And all for koha entry!

    Nicky Keys

    Each month we showcase three local acts: professionals and amateurs, newbies and old hands. This month sees the return of Nicky Keys. Nicky played Live & Local last year; known as a keyboard wizard he also has a great line in humorous tales and was a very popular act last time he appeared. A long-time resident of Raglan, Nicky has over 25 years of experience in the music industry playing keyboards for bands such as Cornerstone Roots, Lost Tribe Aotearoa and Native Sons.

    November’s Live & Local will also feature Tim Grimes. Tim will be playing songs that he wrote. On a guitar and a ukelele. Tunes from North-Western Europe, by boat (no experience with sailing). In praise of the sea and other things greater than he.

    And for something a bit different, we have an eclectic mix of circus acts by three of Raglan’s circus professionals – Evelyn Coulson, Irene Goed and Nick Davies

    Nick Davies

    Evelyn is a circus artist specialising in all things circular – especially hula hoop. Evelyn has been involved in the New Zealand circus community for a decade and performing professionally for the past seven years. She has performed hula hoop across New Zealand, Australia, Canada and Central America. Now that she is based in Raglan, she hosts a weekly hula hoop class on Wednesdays at the Old School Arts Centre and is also a tutor at the local circus and dance studio – Freedom2Fly.

    For more fun with circular objects, Nick Davies will perform a hat juggling act. And after years of performing mainly aerials Irene Goed from Circus Aotearoa is back on the ground manipulating objects with hands and feet. She has put a contemporary twist to a traditional foot juggling routine.

    We also have young singer-songwriter Luna De La Cruz playing a short set. Luna has lived in Whaingaroa all her life and has her been playing guitar and keyboard for a few years and has been singing from a young age. She loves surfing, dancing, drama, art and of course, music.

    Tickets at www.eventbrite.co.nz

    Judi Billcliff

    A tongue-in-cheek look at life, written and performed by experienced actor and author Judi Billcliff, known for her humorous poetry.

    From the heady heights of young love, to the challenges of romance as mature
    women, it's a genuine and at times saucy comedy about life, and the ageing process. Libido issues to menopause and mammograms, looking back at how our lives used to be before gravity took hold.

    Ably supported by the talented muso Helen Stewart, it's guaranteed to make you chuckle. Age doesn't have to be a barrier to getting out there and following your dreams.

    Mature audiences, not suitable for children.
