Greg Johnson - Vine Street Stories 30th Anniversary
SUNDAY APRIL 27, 5:00PM
Show start time changed to 5pm. Notice sent to all ticket holders. To coincide with the 30th Anniversary, Universal Music are releasing Vine Street Stories (1995) on vinyl for the first time, following on from the vinyl release this month of Johnson’s Seabreeze Motel (2000) double album.
The Vine Street Stories album is home to many of Johnson’s most enduring radio hits and live favourites, including Don’t Wait Another Day, You Stay Out Of Your Life, If I Swagger, Suddenly Cold, Come On, Let The Sun Beat Down, and Pleasure and Overdose. The album was produced by Nigel Stone and largely recorded at Johnson’s long-time residence throughout the 1990s in Vine Street, St Mary’s Bay – a home in which he penned many of his most renowned songs, and hosted legendary parties which are still hazily talked about by the Auckland music scene today. Says Johnson: “Digging deep in to the songs off Vine Street Stories is going to be a lot of fun, and it reminds me of those great years working hard and playing harder, before guitarist Ted Brown and I spread our wings with the move to the US. “So many memories around the recording this album, including having to quickly brace the lounge floorboards from underneath, as they buckled under the weight of the grand piano rolled in to record If I Swagger.” “This tour is a celebration, and alongside Vine Street Stories material we’ll throw in some other fan favourites as well. I can’t wait to see everyone again”. Joining Greg on stage is his longtime bandmates; guitarist Ben King, drummer Wayne Bell, bassist Mark Hughes, and guest keyboardist Lisa Crawley returning from California. Vine Street Stories is album number three of the 13 studio albums Johnson has released; a rich catalogue of much-loved by fans – including the critically-acclaimed recent releases, Tilt You Interior (2021) and Thunder In Fall (2024).

Wellington Comic Opera presents The McCardo SUNDAY MAY 18, 2:00PM In Wellington Comic Opera’s 2025 production of The McCardo, public servants and the British court system are lampooned in a colourful romp in which, ultimately, love triumphs over the obstacles strewn in its way. Familiar tunes like ‘The Sun Whose rays’, Tit Willow’, ‘A Wand’ring Minstrel I’ and ‘Three Little Maids from School are We’, will keep you smiling, and the absurdity of the familiar patter song, ‘I’ve Got a Little List’, will have you laughing out loud. Set in the Scottish Highlands, the main characters must negotiate the decrees of the clan chief McCardo, the machinations of the ‘Minister of Everything’, Pooh-Bah, and the incompetence of the newly appointed Lord High Executioner, Ko-Ko. Sparkling music and cutting wit from the enduring pens of WS Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan will carry you to a satisfying conclusion in which the ‘threatened cloud has passed away’ and everyone ‘with joyous shout’ can enjoy a brighter, happier future.
