Venue of the Day - Totara Street



  • What drives you to bring live music to your area?
    The Bay is an awesome spot with tonnes of local talent. It is great for us to be able to support them and it opens up the opportunity for them to get opening slots for some of the bigger touring acts we have through.

    What days of the week do you have live music?
    Most of the larger shows we do fall on Fridays and Saturdays with some of the more obscure, less known acts happening during the week. In saying that, we have had international shows like Donavon Frankenreiter on a Wednesday and Xavier Rudd on a Monday so it is great to get those shows through town too.

    Tell us about a favourite live music moment?
    There are a few milestone type shows that we have had. As we are a pretty new venue you kind ofend up going in stepping stones. Our first show with Trinity Roots was awesome, then we had Hollie Smith through not long after that. We were only just kicking off so they were really big deals for us. We have also done some great shows with Bay of Plenty band L.A.B, they are awesome to have through, the crowd love the local lads and the shows always go off.
