8 May 2026 – Black Eyed Susie

 
Black Eyed Susie features the violin and guitar duo of Susan Colien-Reid and Ramon Oza.
Susan is a classically trained violinist and a wonderful songwriter. Ramon is one of NZ’s finest guitarists and a song writer in his own right.

Susan and Ramon have worked together for many years and as a duo, have played festivals, gigs and venues throughout the North Island. Together they have written and recorded songs with a strong Celtic/Blues/ Funk flavour. Their performances always include original songs, as well as their versions of old favourites.
Many of Susan’s songs are on Soundcloud. You can check them out on: https://soundcloud.com/PTHEoqSDqDoSKtNvg.
In 2024, Ramon released a solo album of his own songs. The album is titled is “Your world or mine”.

Nick has played keyboards for many years in bands in both the UK and NZ. His performing career started in the UK playing in soul and early Britpop bands. He has since covered dance and rock genres, and was a founder member of the well-regarded ‘Gentlemen of Rock’ in Wellington in the late 2010s. He has a strong interest in folk, and learnt to play the piano accordion and rhythm guitar in his 20s. As a new member of the Black-Eyed Susie duo, he is looking to develop this side of his repertoire.

Doors open at 7:00 pm and the evening begins at 7:30 pm with a blackboard of performers, where there is an opportunity for musicians to put their name up for an item. The guests perform after supper and the drawing of the raffle.
