Ministry Of Folk Featuring C. Zukey, Luke Hurley And Hoop.

We have another exciting line-up for The Ministry of Folk in February.

Bring your own drinks and snacks, grab a table and settle down for a night of magic.

C.Zukey is originally from Canada and MOF first became aware of the wonderful talents back 2012 when his band was Farah Loux. He's back with a sparkling, lush, warm and heartfelt album Stonefruut produced by acclaimed New Zealand producer Mark Perkins. We're lucky to have his full band performing at MOF. If you're a fan of Bon Iver or The National, you will definitely enjoy this awesome indie folk artist.

Kiwi music legend Luke Hurley (www.lukehurley.co.nz) was once described as New Zealand's best unknown musician. He's influenced by the likes of Paul Simon, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, John Renbourne, Bert Jansch, Jimi Hendrix, Richie Blackmore and Robert Johnson. The Christchurch Star famously said If Bob Dylan could play the guitar and sing... he would be Luke Hurley. Luke now lives in Auckland and his current style of playing been described as Indian tabla meets Irish rock. According to Liz Barry, Lukes style captivates the listener with gentle melodies, exquisite guitar technique and simple yet sometimes complex rhythms. We can't wait to see Luke perform at MOF. Check out Luke's music on bandcamp.

MOF hosts, Hoop will deck the hall and kick things off with their acoustic pop songs featuring harmonious touches of fiddle, banjo and flute.

Look forward to seeing you there.
