MX Pro Records announce the Ryan Neville & The Midnight ShowBand – MOJO TOUR
Music should not be a tune; it should be a touch. Based in Christchurch, New Zealand, five musicians with well-steeled personalities hammer out an original fusion of Blues with the inimitable sound of the guitars, highly impeccable beats off the drum, flawless vocals, infallible tunes off the keyboard, flawless reeling of the guitar and anarchists of the normal way performing act, all rolled into one, they also wield a typically European sense of humor capable of ruffling the hair of even the slickest of rockers.Born in Christchurch, New Zealand with over 30 years in the entertainment world, Ryan Neville has affirmed and reaffirmed himself as one of the most talented artists around, consistently in- demand for live performances and an influential force in the world of Blues. On Course to a life- fulfilling career, the band already has five (9) albums to there name which features very popular songs like “Paint the Sky Blue” among others. Ryan has always been a staunch believer of the fact that music brings happiness and hope to the hopeless while also educating the populace in every possible his music can.With the recent release of the album Voodoo and national Blues Festivals under there beltThis train is on course.After several years of sole performances, the performance expanded from a one-man show to performing with a full-fledged band (The Ryan Neville & The Midnight Blues Band).The Ryan Neville & The Midnight Blues Band has performed in various places domestically and internationally, with every performance taking its own singular flavor to satisfy its attending audience. Whether on a stage packed with audience or not, Ryan Neville & The Midnight Blues Band is an enthusing bundle of energy, a truly explosive funfair bursting with an on/off-beat humor and a contagious dynamism. The band is made up of very talented instrumentalists and vocalists who blend together to produce unequalled Blues music the ears could ever wished for. In addition, Ryan Neville has often said the core value of his Blues Showband is the fact that they uniquely carry every listener on a soothing journey through the ages of all the legends in the blues genre.The immense popularity and acceptance of the Ryan Neville & The Midnight Blues Band has made them anxious to put in more work. Beware! When Hard work meets Talents, nothing is practically impossible.

Inchbonnie and New Zealand’s first licensed scheduled air service
Inchbonnie will have a national aviation and social focus on 18th December 2024. The small farming settlement, 16km west of the Otira Gorge, was where Captain J.C. ‘Bert’ Mercer of Hokitika-based Air Travel (NZ) Ltd picked up passengers 90 years earlier to begin New Zealand’s first pioneering licensed scheduled air service and airmail service. On the afternoon of inaugural operations, 18th December 1934, Captain Mercer flew Fox Moth ZK-ADI to Inchbonnie Airfield, on the property of Randall Topliss, to pick up Mr H. Worrall and Mr G.H. Christie, who had arrived at the nearby Inchbonnie Railway Station from the Christchurch express train. The Fox Moth then flew to Hokitika and onto Franz Josef for the celebration of the new daily service. Later that same day Captain Mercer returned the two passengers to Inchbonnie in time for them to catch the train back to Christchurch. The pioneering 1934 flights were a portent of future domestic airline development for New Zealand, and Inchbonnie was frequently used in the early years of the pioneering West Coast air service.
On the late morning and afternoon of Wednesday 18th December 2024 festive events are planned at the historic Inchbonnie Airfield site on the Kumara Inchbonnie Road, about 3½ km south of Lake Brunner. The 90th anniversary of the historic flights of New Zealand’s first licensed scheduled air service will be marked by the unveiling of a commemorative plaque/Information board, aircraft fly-in, and a range of creative events prepared by local community organisations.
Everyone is welcome. Plan this important date in your diary now. Specific times and further exciting details will follow.

Jackson Bay Sesquicentennial - Historic Display
2025-01-17 10:00 - 2025-01-19 17:00 | Westland
Join us to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the settlement of Jackson Bay.
Historic Display – Friday 17th – Sunday 19th January – 10am – 5pm

Kathryn Bennie, the Jackson Bay historian who has done exhaustive and meticulous research over the last 12 to 14 years on these early settlers, will also host a display in her shed at the Bay from 10am, Friday-Sunday. This may be of particular interest to those wanting to look back into the early settlement and especially those with ancestors as there are files on all the immigrant families including where many had settled on their selected blocks of land.

History of Jackson Bay
January 19th 1875, was the very first landing of immigrants at Jackson Bay under a Special Settlement Scheme. The government had surveyed a township and farming community in the area, promising generous land ownership schemes, on-going employment, unlimited natural resources to harness, regular communication, vital infrastructure and a prosperous future.
The reality was vastly different for most, if not all, of the settlers, who in the first year experienced record rainfall with flooding and land slips that accompany these events. They faced erratic employment and communications, frugal living conditions and exorbitant prices for any food that made its way to the Bay. Attempts at growing crops were thwarted by floods and at the end of the first three years most had left in dribs and drabs until, in 1879, a Government Commission of Enquiry was held into the failed settlement. In total there were several hundred settlers that were landed over the course of those years. Most left, some of them died, and others endured.
The lack of a wharf was a huge nail in the coffin of the settlement as no timber could be milled and sent out and no supplies could be landed regularly or safely. To leave entailed crossing the Arawhata, Waiatoto, Okuru, and Turnbill Rivers following a muddy track to get to Haast as most did not have the money to return to Hokitika by boat. Despite these very inauspicious beginnings a few hardy families remained and carved out a life from the bush and the ocean gradually clearing some land and making a place for themselves in this beautiful but brutal wilderness. Descendants from some of those families still live in this area.

A new dimension to Flynn’s Celtic guitar style is the exhilarating, percussive sounds of Flamenco. Recent studies in Andalucía with a flamenco guitar master have inspired Flynn to bring Celtic Guitar Journey into new avenues. Connections between Irish and Spanish music come alive in the Rumba Reel, whilst Galician and Irish jigs dance in unison.
Irish-Kiwi pieces combine the beauty of Celtic music with the unique spirit of Aotearoa, offering a distinctive musical journey that blends his Irish heritage with his adopted second home.
Whether you’re new to Flynn’s music or a regular at his annual NZ shows, the 2025 tour promises a vibrant mix of new compositions and familiar favourites, including:
– The Irish haka ‘O’Neill’s March’, enlivened with a hint of Flamenco.
– Intricate, soulful arrangements of O’Carolan’s baroque harp music.
– The infectious energy of Celtic jigs and reels, spanning centuries of tradition.
Connecting continents, traditions, and generations – don’t miss the chance to experience Dave Flynn’s latest Celtic Guitar Journey around New Zealand/Aotearoa.
