is a brand new gig series that'll see iconic New Zealand musicians returning to the venue that ignited their career. A collab between Tiger and muzo, Dan Woolston, the series was inspired by the desire to give our local live music scene a boost, and take fans along for a ride through local music history.
Launching the series is David Dallas who'll return to Karangahape-adjacent Galatos next week on 26 September marking 20 years since he first played there. Entry is on a first-come-first-served basis, via koha donation (all of which will be donated to Galatos in a nod to where it all began). Doors open at 7pm. RSVP .
We caught up with David Dallas ahead of his performance.
