Live: Silo Sessions Presents NZ Soul All Dayer

We’re back! It’s the final summer 2015/2016 edition of the NZ Soul All Dayer!

After successful shows in Aotea Square and at Mount Maunganui over the summer - and one postponed attempt at a Silo Sessions event earlier in February - the NZ Soul All Dayer brings its’ famously feelgood flavours to Auckland’s Silo Park.

Starting at midday on Saturday 19th March, over the course of six hours a quality selection of hand-picked local DJs reach deep into their crates to play many of the shades of soul music, from classic soul, rare groove, funk and boogie, to northern soul, proper disco and much, much more besides.

1200-1300   Nyntee

1300-1400   Kirsty Hargreaves

1400-1445   Murray Cammick

1445-1530   Lo-Key

1530-1615   Selecta Sam

1615-1715   Frank Booker

1715-1800   Jay Jeffrey

Also kicking off at midday and running throughout the afternoon is The Other Crate Record Fair. Set in the shady surrounds of ‘Silo 7’ (right next to the main stage) will be a bespoke selection of quality vendors with a wide variety of music available for sale - and all on vinyl. Bring your cash with you!

Of course it wouldn’t be a proper Silo Session without their famous array of market stalls, food trucks and wide variety of tasty culinary offerings from all over the world. The Silo Park Bar will be open throughout the afternoon.

We’ll also be giving away free copies of the Soultearoa Shakedown fanzine and selling exclusive ‘Soul Tiki’ merchandise at our own NZ Soul All Dayer stall. Come and say hello!

A true celebration of soul music, the purpose of the NZ Soul All Dayer is to bring together like-minded lovers of real soul music while providing an inclusive, family-friendly atmosphere saturated with beautiful soulful music!

With thanks to Silo Park, Fresh Concept and It’s All Good.

Live: NZ Soul All Dayer Waitangi Day 2016

Unfortunately this event has been cancelled.

This is due to the very poor weather forecast for the downtown Auckland area for Saturday.

Obviously we're very disappointed, but we're also working hard to bring you some good news about our next NZ Soul All Dayer event - coming very soon!

3. Rudy Love and Love Family - Does Your Mama Know

5. Roy Porter - Party Time
Long-time host of the The Dose, George FM's slice of everything that's good about Saturdays, Selecta Sam is a renowned vinyl fiend and a deep head of soulful, funky music - among many, many other kinds of music. Sam's also a bit of a guitar god, shredding the stage on a regular basis with his band Luger Boa. When you see him, throw him the goat from us, will ya?

LANCE FERGUSON (The Bamboos/Lanu/Menagerie)
Top 5: Antipodean Digging Spots
1. Northside Records, Melbourne
2. Slow Boat Records, Wellington
3. Butterbeats, Brisbane
4. Conch Records, Auckland
5. ReRun Records, Adelaide
Lance Ferguson is the bandleader and guitarist for The Bamboos, one of the most accomplished and respected deep funk outfits on the face of the planet. Thing is, there are so many strings to this man's bow that the opening line of this paragraph doesn't at all do him justice. Check out his own work as Lanu, or Menagerie, and his production work with Kylie Auldist; or his sideman gig in Cookin' With 3 Burners, or... you get the picture?
