Their songs comment on life experiences with a distinctive Wellington flavour. \nWellington 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\, Chicago blues and infused with Pacific/Hawaiian rhythms and Latino feels. \nSharp and energetic\, Wellington Heads entice people to the dance floor\, regularly delighting audiences at Wellington venues\, and playing festivals\, corporate and private functions. They are frequently invited to perform outside of Wellington\, and over recent years have played in Tauranga\, Manawatu\, Nelson and at Wellington Jazz and Blues Festivals. \nWellington Heads have recorded five albums\, their last ‘Southern Night Sky’ released in 2016. This critically acclaimed album continues their unique sound with a mix of rhythm n’ blues\, swing\, soul and latino grooves. In combining this with their previous albums Wellington Heads have built an extensive repertoire of eclectic original songs. \nWellington Heads’ regular six piece line up is: Neil Worboys– vocals\, guitar\, harmonica; Bill Wood– guitars; Geoff Keith– bass; Greg Crayford– drums; James Tait-Jamieson– saxophone and Nick van Dijk– trombone\, trumpet.

WOW – last time Pip played for the club the dance floor was packed – Brilliant. \nThen at 9.45pm – a SPECIAL TREAT (You’ve all been so good lately!): Matt Joe Gow. This guys “one sheet” reads like a dream – look who he’s supported\, where he’s played and how well his music does… \nWOOT! We’re lucky to have him here. So bring some $ to buy an album or 2.\nMATT JOE GOW was born in New Zealand in what is known colloquially as the “deep south”\, it is fitting that Matt found his feet as songwriter in a genre of music that was born in the Deep South of the USA – Americana. Whilst these far flung regions have little in common in terms of climate\, they both share a rich musical history\, and Matt absorbed both growing up. \nMatt’s debut ‘The Messenger’ was produced by multi-ARIA award-winner Nash Chambers and featured Jim Moginie of Midnight Oil and iconic Australian country artist Bill Chambers. Released on Liberation Records the album introduced Matt and in many ways alt country to many people for the first time in Australia. \nThe album launched Matt Joe Gow on to the scene and over the years Matt’s tour schedule would move from solely boutique Americana gatherings to also include more mainstream festivals such as Day On The Green and the recent Riverboats Music Festival. With tour supports of Chris Isaak\, Justin Townes Earle\, The Jayhawks\, Grant Lee Phillips\, Marlon Williams and Kasey Chambers under the belt Matt Joe Gow built a simmering credibility to go along side the authentic Alt Country tones. \nIt was however Matt’s latest self produced album\, ‘Break Rattle And Roll’ which ranges from Stones-esque blues rock and roll to hushed country heartbreak that truly resonated with fans and critics alike and went on to win the prestigious Music Victoria Award for Best Country album. More recently Matt has also enjoyed a number 1 single on the Amrap Charts with his single “Too Far To Go”.
