Mr Bird (Gareth Bruce) is flying in from the Canadian Rockies and when he reached out to ask us if we wanted him to play we said - heck yes! Expect some epic songs and guitar and a beautiful afternoon. Book a table for Sunday 5th January here: https://www.theheke.co.nz/book-now or send enquiry to bookings@theheke.co.nz

The Waiheke link with Mr Bird is as Waiheke-as-it-gets:
Wayfaring and whimsical, weaving stories into melodies in his own bluesy/folk, foot-tapping style. Mister Bird highlights the magic of the wild & the subtle miracles of everyday. Recognized for his heart moving performances, and his rich & rusty voice. Leaving his listeners feeling as though they’ve lived the song…
” It was actually on Waiheke where I got my first guitar. I helped a lady build a fence in exchange for an old Yamaha! So this gig is a bit of a homage to my past.”

- Gareth / Mister Bird
