The Wellington Heads & After Work Honky Tonk

No cover, come and ease into your weekend with Gil Haisman and Judy Grau, playing some old time jazz and some Jelly Roll Morton boogie keys.

From 8.30pm The Wellington Heads will be swingin' the house... Named after the striking features on Wellington’s rugged southern coastline, Wellington Heads have been playing in and around the capital city for more than 10 years.

Wellington Heads have evolved their own sound through the influences of Kansas style blue jazz, the swinging rhythm 'n' blues of Louis Jordan and Ray Charles, and infused with Pacific/Hawaiian rhythms and Latino feels.

Sharp and energetic, Wellington Heads entice people to the dance floor, regularly delighting audiences at music venues throughout the capital city. They are frequently invited to perform outside of Wellington, and over recent years have played the Tauranga, Manawatu and Nelson Jazz Festivals.

Wellington Heads have built an extensive repertoire of eclectic original songs. Dancers and followers of this band regularly seek out their infectious rhythms and quirky songs.
