💪 Ironman recovery… but make it funky
Soothe those tired Ironman muscles (or vocal cords!) with smooth Sunday soul in a sculpture garden setting like no other. Stretch out on the lawn, wander among the glass masterpieces, and let the music do the rest.
Bring a picnic 🧺 or grab something delicious from the café ☕🍰 — then settle in for an afternoon of pure groove.
🔥 Meet Hot Tub
A powerhouse 14-member ensemble featuring a blazing nine-piece horn section, Hot Tub has been lighting up stages in and around Taupō for over a decade.
Front and centre, the dynamic vocal trio:
🎤 Emma Kettlewell
🎤 Sue Collett
🎤 Donovan Bixley
From blues-rock classics like Sweet Home Chicago and Proud Mary, to the sweet harmonies of Burt Bacharach, the jazz genius of Herbie Hancock, and the soulful magic of Etta James — this band covers serious musical ground.
Band leader Peter Marshall sums it up best:
“There’s something in there to please — or offend — everyone. It’s basically a great family offering.”
🌞 Good vibes. Great music. Gorgeous garden.
Grab your crew, bring your picnic blanket, and join us for a Sunday afternoon packed with soul, funk, brass, and brilliant energy.
Sunday Soul at Lava Glass 8th March — don’t miss it! 🎷💛
