Delaney Davidson at Wunderbar

Delaney Davidson’s impact on Lyttelton’s musical community has been undeniable, with the Aotearoa songwriting maverick cited as an influence on such world class talents as Marlon Williams and Aldous Harding. The hard-gigging artist is returning from his global travels through Eastern Europe and Japan to play a very special homecoming headline event at Wunderbar in late October, promising tantalising special guests and a “night of trance out thumpa chunking and wailing, spells and magic, dark tales and uplifting spirits.” Davidson’s musical output has been mind-boggling over the past twelve months – he followed last year’s solo album Shining Day with collaborative long players alongside Barry Saunders (The Warratahs) and Bruce Russell (The Dead C), plus he produced “Better Already” – The Songs Of Al Park tribute record, “Belladonna” by Sant Satori (Lytteltons own Doom band’s debut album) and Adam Hattaway’s latest album! How the artist can be so productive yet remain an enigma is a mystery in itself.

Special Guest number one is Lorina Harding!! Having shared a stage years ago at the Folk Festival in Geraldine Lorinas captivating and powerful live show made an impression on Davidson and he has invited her to join him.

Special Guest number 2 is Violet French. From such raw folk acts as Tacoma Mold and Jersey Pop band Kool Aid, Violet’s natural musical ability shines out.

Catch them both live at Delaney Davidson’s homecoming event at Lytteltons own WUNDERBAR!!
