Stretch and the Sinners are a soul-stirring indie folk-rock band, that blend heartfelt emotion with an uplifting abandonment in the joy of music. It’s a beautifully raw and emotive sound, set to a depth of lyricism
earned from lives truly lived.

At the heart of the band is Stretch, a compelling frontman with a voice that swings from smoky whisper to soaring soul searching, embodying both vulnerability and defiance. Their live performances are intimate yet electrifying, with moments of hushed intensity followed by explosive crescendos, creating a dynamic
experience that pulls the audience into the emotional core of each song.

300 Years of Playing

The Sinners bring rich, textured soundscapes to life with acoustic and electric guitars, brooding bass lines, echoing drums, and soaring cello. The incredibly emotive playing of cellist Paula Sugden with her 300-year old instrument, creates melodic lines that weave between Stretch’s soulful voice. Andrew Gladstone brings an atmospheric approach to his vintage drum-kits, a true master of taste and timing. Cam Burns is a musicians musician, fully realising the arrangements and expanding the music to wide screen aspects. Together there is a chemistry and passion that sets their shows alight. Their combined sound combusts with a grace and power unlike anything else in the New Zealand music scene.

The best little arts festival in the bay is back! Fringe in the ‘Stings celebrates the breadth of talent in Heretaunga and beyond with a smorgasbord of artistic delights to suit every palate, at a price everyone can afford.

Fringe looks a little different this year, with a range of shows throughout the festival at St Matthew’s Hall on Eastbourne Street, from Thursday 10th to Sunday 13th October, with satellite venues around the town.

From an award winning run in Wellington, CRUNCH plays daily, exploring the crunchy parts of life via physical theatre and the vehicle of a chippie packet, to charm children and grown ups alike.

Our artist’s hub at the 118 Studio on Karamu Road transforms to an early morning dance party where you can get your boogie on with your coffee, then to an intimate theatre for a series of solo and duo shows that will make you laugh and cry.

There’s music of all sorts, from musicians with disabilities to big band jazz; spooky folk to full throated soul; djembe drumming to comedy ballads; ambient doom to anarchistic noise; heavy metal to heart-filled melodies.

Witness local legend, Stretch, launch his band, the Sinners, with brand new, never before heard material that you, the audience, will help co-create. Get All Folked Up with Ish’s eclectic mash-up made for dancing. Get down to drumming and doof in Albert Square on Saturday afternoon.

There’s rangatahi theatre - a self penned piece about grief; and Habyt’s Emilia, dealing with poetry and feminism in the time of Shakespeare. There’s drag and burlesque to tickle your fancy. There’s contemporary dance, set in the stars.

There’s something for everyone, and everyone is included. Fringe in the ‘Stings creates space for locals to experiment both as performers and audiences. Low ticket prices and free shows mean you can sample a medley of artistic experiences without breaking the bank.
