Regularly compared to Monty Python, Spike Milligan and Benny Hill, this clever Vaudeville ensemble is a must see.

Round the Horn w Hopetoun Brown and Finn Scholes @ LEIGH SAWMILL CAFE
Jan 12 @ 9:30 pm – 11:45 pm

Hopetoun Brown and the genius of Finn Scholes set sail for an ambitious tour of the Hauraki Gulf Islands aboard a wooden double-ended ketch!

Leigh Sawmill represents the North Island stop and locals will marvel and point as Ponsonby’s finest brass players row ashore in a tiny dinghy brimmed full of tubas, trombones, saxophones and a giant clarinet.
Dance the night away as this hot-forged trio parp and stomp into the warm summer evening. Sing along as Finn fires up the Leigh Sawmill grand piano while Tim and Nick go blue in the face blowing into their antique wind instruments!
We’re looking forward to this one!!
