Hello everyone. I am in Dunedin briefly and need to mention these gigs i am doing this week. Short notice indeed but thats normal with me as promo doesn’t come easily and its the last thing i get around to

Saturday at Adjo 10 Bank St dinner and a show essential to book so if for any reason you cant contact the owners of this lively Danish performance venue then call me directly or text…02102592919 and i will book it myself. Fact is its a tiny venue so we can get away with micro promo.

Adjø is nordic cuisine check the menu
Hosting a show that promos happy isles and the new ep ‘The Jungle’ and thanks Darren Hammond who was the first to buy a copy of The Jungle.

Last person to play here was Delaney Davidson. Also they had Soaked Oats dreampop
Check their website for the promo of the event.

“ADJØ is an intimate licensed cafe and gallery focusing on emerging artists and cuisine from the Nordic kitchen. Our space is here to provide an alternative way to view and experience art, mixing with coffee, live music and delicious food, and looking out to the beautiful botanics”.

Then theres Best Cafe Sunday night…again its dinner and a show.
The Friday night gig is being opened by Natalie Yeoman. It’s a special one so try to make it
Again call me for details 021 0259 2919 if you are free on that night and i can book you in

Let’s see if this super short notice micro promo idea works. Please support original k1w1 music. It’s a huge struggle getting above the corporate white noise and singing about the human touch. Corporate rock is somewhat over represented and the world need little guys like me in the mix and thats where your support comes in .

Please help me get the human vibe out there and if you want me to play in a venue near you write in and tell me who to call lukehurleymusic@gmail.com. Please

Live @ Little & Local presents: Snells Beach Friday 3rd of April 7:30pm.

Luke Hurley – consummate guitarist / singer / songwriter

“I love tactile stuff even if many can’t be bothered with it. I want to hold it and put it on a spinny thing and know it cost me money and it cost me time and it cost me all the best years of my mind. Vinyl records are tactile; to me they represent true personality; true music that becomes part of who we are.”

Thus speaks Luke Hurley on the eve of his first vinyl release since the late eighties. Happy Isles is his new album, the 10th collection of songs in a thirty-year career that has seen him perform in concert halls, cafes, festivals and street corners the world over.

Luke is a consummate guitarist / singer songwriter based in Auckland. He will be bringing his raw and attention-grabbing acoustic music to Mahurangi East on Friday 3 April.

His concert will kick off the ‘Autumn Sessions 2020’ at the Little and Local Coffee Kitchen in Snells Beach. The Autumn Sessions will take place on the first Friday of each month and will include an open mic segment show casing local singers and poets and musicians.

“Luke comes from the singer/songwriter tradition,” says Live @ Little & Local Mark Raffills. “He is a hard-working troubadour who believes in the joy of making music and performing it where the people are. His guitar playing is brilliant, his voice is raw and his songs have bite!.

Explaining a little of the process that produced his new album Happy Isles, Luke quotes poet William Blake and credits producer Jan Bille with helping him develop the sound for the new album.

“Blake said that ‘opposition is true friendship’ and producer Jan Bille certainly put me through ‘bootcamp’ to get the best out of me and the songs. He awakened in me a will to fight and the courage to take risks. We spent some months working on something that turned out to be a big wide sky!

The show at Little & Local Coffee Kitchen kicks off at 7.30 pm with an open mic session featuring local poets and musicians. Luke will take the stage around 8.15pm for a 40 minute set.

Doors open at 7.00 pm and Little & Local Coffee Kitchen looks forward to welcoming you to an entertaining evening of great musicianship and lyrics to muse on. $10 at the door. Coffee and counter food available.
