The Frank Burkitt Band
Thursday, 3 July 2025 @ 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm
First Thursday of the month – LORE is our Folk and Roots music night hosted by Gareth Scott with special guests each month.
‘Frank Burkitt has been performing for 15 years with partner and vocalist/flautist Kara Filbey. They met in Edinburgh in 2004 and have since lived and toured extensively throughout the UK, New Zealand and Australia.
Playing a broad mix of original and traditional Scottish folk songs, Americana and country ballads, Burkitt’s highly intelligent songwriting is what sets him apart, as well as his relaxed stage presence and ability to tell great stories.
On moving to New Zealand in 2014, they formed The Frank Burkitt Band with whom they were awarded the Vodafone New Zealand Music Award (Tui award) for Best Folk Artist 2019. When not touring with the full band, they relish the chance to perform their intimate duo set. Two voices that have had 15 years to blend and produce the closest, most stunning harmonies that you’ll hear. Captivating and intimate performers that will entertain and enchant.’
