10 July 2026 – Steve Poulton

Steve is a Levin-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and live looping performer whose music blends acoustic roots, soulful vocals, ambient textures, and rhythmic improvisation. Drawing influence from folk, blues, jazz, world music, and cinematic soundscapes, his performances move between intimate storytelling and expansive instrumental journeys.

With a focus on connection, atmosphere, and authenticity, Steve creates performances that are both grounded and exploratory, weaving guitars, voice, percussion, and live layers into a unique and engaging musical experience.

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.

Admission, which includes a light supper, is $10 for members, $15 for non-members; Students: Uni $10, College $5, Primary $3. Cash only (no eftpos facilities).

The venue is the Horowhenua Scottish Society Hall, 155 Bartholomew Road, corner Bartholomew Road and Middlesex Street, Levin.

Come and enjoy a night of fun and music!

10 March 2023 – The Salty Hearts

This Friday The Salty Hearts will entertain us with their quintessentially ‘Kiwi’ sounds with an Americana twist.

The band features Greg Sayer (Monty Wolf, Gas Guzzlers, The Daggs) who pens a vast selection of original songs that have his unique New Zealand experiences. Greg’s style is varied but some of the later songs are arriving at the band room sounding like a cross between Bob Dylan and Marlon Williams… very exciting! Dave Allen is on guitar (Hogsnort Bulldogs, Gravel Road, Four On The Floor), with sure, supportive and clever playing from Richard Guerin on Bass (Rhythm Plant, Groove Assembly), and Anje Glindemann on drums (Tin Pan Alley, Henpicked, Andrew London, Raven Mavens). They all sing lead and backing vocals, adding a hearty variety, texture and care to the music they create.

The Salty Hearts are regular performers around Wellington.

Doors open at 7:00 pm and the evening begins at 7:30 pm with a blackboard of performers. The guests perform after supper.

Admission, which includes a light supper, is $7 for members, $12 for non-members and $3 for students. Cash only (no eftpos facilities).

The venue is the Horowhenua Scottish Society Hall, 155 Bartholomew Road, corner Bartholomew Road and Middlesex Street, Levin.
