Welcome to Groove Café, where the music is strong and the vibe is even stronger.

Set in the stunning Te Whare Tāpere Iti, join us for an evening with the phenomenal NZTrio He Taonga Wairere, renowned for its eclectic repertoire, outstanding talent and warm kiwi stage presence. Bringing together three incredibly accomplished artists: Amalia Hall (violin), Matthias Balzat (cello) & Stephen De Pledge (guest piano), every NZTrio performance powerfully reaffirms the importance and cathartic nature of a live musical experience in today’s digital world.

Get ready for a comedy show that’s truly out of this world. Friendlyjordies is diving deep into the UFO phenomenon. Not with the tired "anything unidentified that flies is a UFO" bit, but with actual ALIENS. Yes, he genuinely believes the U.S. government is hiding alien spacecraft, and he’s risking over a decade of hard-earned credibility to convince you. Why? Because if it’s true, it’s the coolest thing ever—and not, at least you’ll have a laugh watching him unravel.

📅: Friday 30 January
⏰: 7:30pm
