From “daggy’' to “down the hall on Saturday night’' — veteran folk singer Mike Harding presents a gig from the lighter side of Kiwi culture on Friday night.
Harding says the concert features a repertoire of home-grown songs from Kiwi songwriters “who have helped us to laugh at and love ourselves and where we live’'.
This entails pub songs, songs from small towns and back-country roads, from the radio and the rodeo, the city and the shed, love songs, pub songs, pop songs and even dog songs.
Harding won a recording industry award with a collection of his own songs in the 1980s and sings New Zealand folk and popular songs from the 19th century to today.
Harding has been described as a musical storyteller and the songs of home are peppered with humour and affection.
