Gig: Solomon Crook - Beneath the Morning Tree Tour
Off the back of releasing his new EP, ‘Beneath the Morning Tree’, Solomon returns playing a series of intimate shows across Aotearoa.
These songs reflect a return to Solomon’s song-writing roots, finding honesty in simplicity and authentic story telling.
11 July - Movespace, Auckland
12 July - Vogelmorn, Wellington
13 July - Sherwood, Queenstown

Gig: Geoff + Murm Sing Stuff (New Date)
Auckland singer songwriters and besties Geoff Ong & Miriam McCombe are teaming up to perform each other's music as soulful duets in this laid-back, sit-down Sunday session at cosy MoveSpace.
After Geoff's release of his stunning EP 'Diverging Lines' and Miriam's debut of her 5-piece band in recent Ponsonby Social gig, these two pals are finding some calm amidst the chaos to enjoy each other's tunes in the comfy setting of their favourite local venue.
GEOFF ONG is a pop artist making music for the misfits - the kind of pop that wears its heart on its sleeve and doesn’t mind if it’s a little off-kilter. His debut album Maybe It’ll Be Alright landed five singles in the Top 5 of the Official NZ Music Charts, earning him a reputation for thoughtful songwriting, infectious hooks, and energetic live shows that make every crowd feel like close friends. From stages at Cross St Festival and Newtown Festival to collaborations with artists like Hollie Fullbrook (Tiny Ruins) and Don McGlashan, Geoff has become a quietly essential voice in Aotearoa’s indie-pop landscape.
MIRIAM McCOMBE is a musician and songwriter originally from Bath, UK. Her music combines folky, lilting melodies and funky grooves, with waves of sadness and lyrical silliness. After moving to Aotearoa in 2019, she became trapped due to the pandemic - a strange and eventually fortuitous incident. Inspired by Tāmaki's vibrant music scene, she released her first EP 'Weightless' in 2023, a self-produced collection of heartfelt songs about her arrival to NZ. Since then she’s begun playing her music with a full band of local indie music legends, has performed her songs with local darlings SHE Choir Auckland, and has even released music with the beloved Suzy Cato. She's always looking for a band to be in - hit her up!

Come As You Are
Not a party. Not a networking event.
Something in between—and a little beyond.
Come As You Are is the first gathering curated by Time & Place and headlined by Auckland's favourite DJ, Chrome Kiss. It's a modern third space for people who crave connection that feels easy, thoughtful, and real.
It’s for the quietly curious. The ones who listen closely. The ones who’ve outgrown small talk but still want to meet new people.
This night is built for movement — between corners, conversations, and comfort zones.
Come alone. Come with a friend. Or bring someone you’ve always wanted to get to know better, in a space that invites something different.
What to expect:
🎶 A tasteful set by DJ Chrome Kiss
🍷 Grazing bites to enjoy with your BYO drink(s)
🪑 Floor cushions, table games, lounge pockets, and space to wander
💬 Light conversation prompts from Deeper Questions (if that's your thing)
🪞A room that holds you—without asking you to perform
What to wear:
Something that makes you feel good :)
What to bring:
🍻 A drink or two or more
💛 Open heart and open mind

Now, she’s stripping things back for a raw, heartfelt, and up-close evening of storytelling.

Remembering Martin | Exhibition Opening
As many of you will know, a dear friend, member, and fellow creative passed in February 2025, Martin Ulenberg. This event is open to the public to spend time together to celebrate Martin's creativity, his drawings, and his messages to the world.
Martin was dearly loved by so many in our community, well-known for coming to gigs and drawing the performers, engaging in philosophical, creative chat, being a positive light in someone's dark day. The delight he took from simple pleasures, the gifts he shared with others, brought inspiration and happiness to many.
As we all navigate the waves of grief that come, let's gather together and celebrate Martin's creativity, drawings & sketches opening on our newly created Public Art Gallery on the outside wall of MoveSpace, proudly supported by the Albert Eden Local Board.
Massive thank you to the Ulenberg family, especially to Liz and Steve, who let us look through Martin's sketchbooks, and scan them in for display.
