Live: NZ Soul All Dayer Mt Maunganui 2016

NZ Soul All Dayer Wellington

The NZ Soul All Dayer kicks off the summer with our first ever Wellington edition!

A quartet of NZ Soul All Dayer resident DJs are joining a host of Wellington’s most soulful DJs at Laundry Cuba Street for an all day, all vinyl throwdown and celebration of soul, bringing together like-minded lovers of real soul music while replicating the feelgood vibe and inclusive spirit of the original All Dayers from the UK.

Beginning in the early afternoon, over the course of twelve-plus hours this stack of hand-picked DJs reach deep into their crates to play the many shades of soul music, from classic soul, rare groove, funk and boogie, to northern soul, proper disco and much, much more besides.

Repping for Auckland and the Bay Of Plenty:
Selecta Sam / Nyntee / Kirk James / Campbell Ngata

And on Team Wellington:
Omega B / Ayesha / Melfunction / Ian Footitt / Chung / Mikki Dee / Dunc Tha Funk / B-Lo

There’ll be the usual array of excellent refreshments and delicious food delivered all day long from the fine folks of Laundry Cuba Street; and, as is our way, we’ll also be giving away free copies of the ‘Soultearoa Shakedown’ fanzine, selling exclusive Soul Tiki merchandise as well as playing more great soul and funk music than you can shake a jandal at.

And remember: SOUL MUSIC'S NOT A GENRE - IT'S A FEELING!
