Help us showcase our instruments at Byron Bay Bluesfest 2014!
The finest Blues musicians in the world, 35,000 people, sunshine, and with your help... some of New Zealand's finest locally crafted musical instruments!
We have been given a once in a lifetime chance to showcase our handcrafted NZ made musical instruments at the 25th annual Byron Bay Bluesfest in April this year.
We are totally stoked about that, but we need help to raise the money to pay the hefty stall price and freight costs to get our instruments across the sea to Australia, it will be a big mission for us!
For your pledge towards our cause, we offer several rewards of our products, which are in many cases much cheaper than normal. Think of it as an excuse to buy the instrument you have always wanted!
As a very special offer, if you pledge $500 NZ, you can COME TO BLUESFEST WITH US! (only limited availability sorry. Tickets are usually $665 AUD so this is an awesome opportunity!)
Our acceptance as stallholders at Bluesfest 2014 is based on our passion for music and our dedication to crafting top quality musical instruments. We are one of only a few new stallholders to be accepted in to the festival this year. We are proud to have the chance to bring the original blues instrument (the n'goni) and the beat-box (the cajón) to rock the Bluesfest and get the music to the people!
Who are we?

He is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and regular performer in bands in New Zealand and overseas.
