Hear the hits as Mockers and Johnson come to town

Two popular Kiwi acts, The Mockers and Greg Johnson, come together on a double bill at Parāoa Brewing in Whangaparāoa in March.

It’s a first-time performance on the Coast for The Mockers, and four years since their last live shows.

Band members have returned from all over the globe to reform their classic line-up. The band comprises New Zealand-based frontman Andrew Fagan, guitarist Brett Adams and drummer Chris O’Connor, UK-based bass player Geoff Hayden, while keyboardist Tim Wedde crosses the ditch from New South Wales to play his part. 

Fans will be keen to hear hits like Forever Tuesday Morning, Swear It’s True, One Black Friday, and My Girl Thinks She’s Cleopatra.

Singer-songwriter Greg Johnson, who now lives in California, returns to Parāoa Brewing after performing there in 2022.

It is more than 30 years since he first made his mark on the New Zealand music scene with his breakthrough single Isabelle. Since then, fans have embraced Johnson’s melodic, story-telling songs like Don’t Wait Another Day, Liberty and Save Yourself. Greg will perform with his New Zealand-based band.

The show is on Thursday, March 7. Tickets from Eventfinda.
