NZ folk trio Turkey The Bird are continuing their tour this weekend with some very special shows around the lower west coast of the North Island. They are joined by one of New Zealand's best fiddle player, Krissy Jackson, for 3 shows this weekend. Starting on Friday 24th March they're playing at the Hawera Repertory Society in Hawera followed by an intimate house concert in Whanganui on Saturday 25th March and on Sunday 26th March they will appear at the Marton Harvest Festival in Marton.

Tickets to the Friday show can be found on eventfinda.co.nz

New Zealand's folk trio Turkey The Bird will remind you of the famous Margarita cocktail infused with a hint of Simon & Garfunkel, 2 ounces of Mumford and Sons, a splash of banjo and served on ice on a sunny day.

Catchy folk songs with stunning rich melodies and effortless smooth lyrics. Songs that tell uplifting stories about love and life.

Hailing from the New Zealand left coast town New Plymouth, this uplifting band will hit you with beautiful three part harmonies and toe tapping rhythms.  The bearded trio features Andre Manella from Switzerland on guitar, bass and percussion, Adrian Whelan from Ireland on guitar, mandolin, bass and spoons,
and Sol Bear Coulton, the token kiwi, on Banjo and slide guitar.
