Inch Bar

Mōrena 👋

Hope your day is coming along swimmingly 🏊‍♀️

Jumping on to let you know about tonight’s act!!

We’re excited to welcome RK to the inchy stage!

Having recently made Ōtepoti home, RK is beginning to make his mark on the local music scene with beautifully crafted songs, heartfelt vocals, and stunning acoustic guitar. He’s one of those artists whose music is best experienced live.

Trust us, you’ll find yourself completely drawn in from the very first song.

If you’re looking to discover an incredible new local musician, this is one not to miss.

Come down, grab a drink, settle in, and help us give RK a warm Inch Bar welcome.

Turtle Hearts will be playing a show with us Thursday July 16!

🎵 STUDENT SUCCESS 🎵

Our very own Turtle Hearts have just dropped the first of 3 songs"Alibi" – and it's streaming everywhere NOW! 🐢❤️

This trio – Grace Chisnall (piano/keys), Sienna Baker (vocals/acoustic guitar), and Guthrie Wakelin (bass/violin) – are all 3rd year students in our Contemporary Performance programme.

Their sound? Think complex yet soulful harmony + lush vocal melodies + interesting rhythms and time signatures + textures you won't forget. Pure originality. ✨

Huge shoutout to Stephen Stedman (Recording) and David Harrison (Production & Mix) for bringing this vision to life.

This is Song 1 of 3 – and we are SO here for it.

Go stream "Alibi" now and show our students some love! 💫
