Raglan-based musicians WilkieMac and Penni Feather bring their combined show to the Hawkes Bay.
PENNI FEATHER loves to connect with an audience through song. Known for her interpretive skills, she brings range and depth to her performances, whether it's a warmly inhabited acoustic blues, a new twist on a folk song or her evocative originals.
Over the years Penni has been a fulltime musician in Auckland and Queenstown in rock and jazz line-ups, toured the N Island folk circuit and been a guest artist at Wellington, Aongatete and Hamilton folk festivals. She has performed alongside many of NZ's top musicians and more recently has opened for Darren Watson, Annie Crummer and Midge Marsden, had a one-woman cabaret show in the Hamilton Arts Festival and performed solo in the inaugural Raglan Blues Festival.
WILKIEMAC are Lynne Wilkins and Michael Mackinnon. The duo have a deserved reputation in NZ's folk scene for their arrangements, with their original songs and Celtic roots to the fore. Recent highlights include being the featured concert guest at the 2025 Te Rangi Festival in Hawkes Bay and opening for Australian band Ukulele Death Squad for one of their pre-WOMAD tour gigs.
Michael provides the solid backdrop on guitar, while Lynne brings a varied soundscape with harmonica, flutes, whistles, guilele (a six-string ukulele) and guitar. Topped with their blended vocals, a WilkieMac performance is bound to leave you wanting more.
Penni Feather and WilkieMac collaborated for sets at the 2025 Hamilton Arts Festival. They enjoyed weaving instruments and harmonies on each others' songs so much, they've teamed up again for gigs that are taking them around the N Island.
