Candice Milner is a young folk singer from the port town of Lyttelton.
“Frequently evoking the thread of spiritual and romantic Anglofolk, Milner's spare acoustic melodies are enhanced by striking arrangements for strings and a “choir” of backing vocalists with her confident and clear voice at the centre of the frame.” – Elsewhere.co.nz
2.15pm - 3.15pm – Lindon Puffin
Lindon Puffin is a Christchurch institution, a hard touring, heart talking, alt pop rockabilly folk phenom he's toured New Zealand relentlessly this past decade and played with everyone from Billy Bragg to Tenacious D. Describing himself as a fisherman trapped in a musicians body he sings his heart out with great guts and humour.
3.30pm - 5pm – The Eastern
The Eastern are a string band that roars like a punk band, that swings like a gospel band, that drinks like a country band, that works like a bar band, that hopes like folk singers, and sings love songs like union songs, and writes union songs like love songs, and wants to slow dance and stand on tables, all at the same time. Whether roaring as their big six-piece string band or swinging the loud lonesome sound as a three piece and averaging over 200 shows a year, The Eastern can hold it down in all settings for all comers.
