  • LIVE & LOCAL at the Old School - March 8

    Category: Music / Gigs LIVE & LOCAL at the Old School - March 8


    March 8, 2024

    Friday March 8 at Raglan Old School Arts Centre, 5 Stewart Street, Raglan. Upstairs in Whare Tapere.

    Koha entry. Doors open at 7pm with Live & Local starting at 7.30pm. Bar open.

    Our popular Live & Local featuring local performers continues.

    We have a varied line-up for you this month, from folk musings to acoustic alternative to country/punk rock! Matt Kambic returns and Greta O’Leary and Vicki Greetis make their Live & Local debuts.

    Matt Kambic’s acoustic compositions look to hold up a soft candle to the seasons in the heart, plying that middle space between the shadows and the light, sharing tuned-down perspectives around life and love on a quiet guitar.

    Folk and alternative artist Greta O’Leary writes confessional, poignant, and occasionally absurd songs that cut through the thickest of skins. Vocally led, accompanied by acoustic guitar and joined by Hannah Morrell on fiddle.

    Vicki Greetis (of Five Girls’ fame) says she would best describe her music as a one-woman band playing her own style of chaos, inspired by country storytelling and raw punk rock angst.

    If you’re interested in performing at one of these shows, contact penni@raglanartscentre.co.nz

    Live & Local presented by Raglan Old School Arts Centre is made possible with the support of Waikato District Creative Communities, Raglan Light & Sound and Mark Frost (Bayleys Real Estate)

  • Karioi Quilts & Crafts

    Category: Art Group/ Drop In Session Karioi Quilts & Crafts


    March 14, 2024

    Karioi Quilts & Crafts - second Thursday of every month.

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

    From 2023, we changed the name to Karioi Quilts and Crafts to open the group up to other crafters. 

    Members can work on their own projects ranging from quilts, sewing projects and you can even bring your knitting, as long as it’s not a messy craft anything goes.  New members are always welcome to come along to work on their own projects and learn techniques from a group of very creative craftspeople.

    Group co-ordinator is Sue Webber 021 489944  

    Meetings are held at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre from 10am to 1pm (sometimes 3pm if the room is available) on the second Thursday of every month. 10 sessions per year from February to December. Subscription is $30 per year which goes towards room hire.
