    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.

    Even the Lost is an indie folk band from Wellington. Inspired by folk, rock and pop from the nineties, their music is soaked in the sounds, vibes and rich carpets of the seventies. They mix electric and acoustic sounds to create a warm backdrop for their songs of love, loss, mistakes and misadventure. Even the Lost is a 50:50 band – half their songs are original. The rest come from the artists who inspired them, people like John Moreland, Joan Osborne, Anna Tivel, Antje Duvekot and The Grateful Dead.

    Bob McNeill is one of New Zealand’s best known folk artists for his solo records and numerous collaborations. A guitarist, he is a prolific songwriter whose songs have been covered by artists in New Zealand, Scotland, Australia and the US. He is a three-times winner of Best Folk Album at the New Zealand Music Awards and has toured in North America, Australia, Ireland and the UK. The Dominion Post compared him to Jackson Browne, James Taylor and Dougie MacLean. New Zealand Musician compared his songwriting to Bruce Springsteen and Mark Knopfler.

    Em Griffiths has a voice to woo the staunchest of hearts. Rich, soulful and tender, it will break you, and mend you again. From Whangārei, and classically trained, Em is also Even the Lost’s multi- instrumentalist, playing mandolin, keys and fiddle.

    Rob Henderson is one of New Zealand’s best bass players. He has toured widely here and in Australia with a variety of acts. A wizard jazz bassist in constant demand in Wellington, he also plays with NZ’s bluegrass supergroup You, Me, Everybody.
