The Kay Duncan Band was formed from musical connections, both old and new between a group of professional Christchurch-based musicians. Initially working together on Kay’s Debut Album release concert back in 2022, and inspired by the opportunity to play originals in a band and have fun along the way.

Songs are smouldering with groovy, funky rhythms, interesting and sublime melodies and thought - provoking lyrics. All with a distinctive style encompassing the mix of genres.

Band members are Kay Duncan - vocals and acoustic guitar, Guy Hobson – Keyboard, Geoff Cox – Bass, Jono Tressler – Drums, Rob Tate – Lead Guitar, Cathy Boscolo and Rachel Bayliss – Backing vocals.

Since releasing their debut album All Dat Love in 2018, The Haunters have become a staple on Aotearoa’s festival circuit,Nostalgia, Nest Fest, Electric Avenue, The Great Kiwi Beer Festival, and the South Island Wine & Food Festival.

Following the release of an anthology album that marked a creative turning point for the band, frontman Adam Hattaway unveiled High Horse in 2024. A solo record that signaled a bold shift in style. Produced by acclaimed musician Marlon Williams, High Horse is a dark yet warm, reverb soaked, rainy day collection of loner anthems.

We’re delighted to welcome Adam Hattaway and the Haunters back to Live at the Point.

2.30-3.30 Luemdillies

The Luemdillies (pronounced loom-dillies) are a creative five piece vocal and instrumental line up from the Garden City of Otautahi Christchurch, New Zealand.

The Luemdillies bring to the stage the sounds of vocals, stringed instruments, bass and drums.

The musical songs written and played are inflections of personal stories and celebrate life, forged on the wide expanses of the Canterbury plains. The sounds of the Luemdilles unite, with genuine simplicity and humour, with catchy melodies that are infused with touches of the blues, country, folk, Celtic and even a whisper of punk.

This is a band whose musical journey will make you want to let your heart listen and get your feet dancing.

We are called Finished Business, and we play jazz mainly from the pre-bebop period, which we call Vintage Jazz. We do favourite vocal standards, instrumental features from Benny Goodman, Django Reinhardt and others.

We have recently relaxed our rule of only playing songs that are older than we are, because some of our current members are young enough to qualify us to play Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock!

We’ve played at Markets around Christchurch, Riverside, parties and Corporate gigs, and regularly play at Jazz After Work at ARA.
