Join us in Te Anau on Easter Monday 2024
Highland Storm
Electrifying fusion of Pop, Celtic and Kiwi Music
Come and dance the night away at a one-night-only,
tartan-tangledl celebration on April 1st with Highland Storm's eclectic repertoire of Scottish, Kiwi and pop music to stir the Scottish blood.
Featuring lead vocalists Simon Green and Hollie Longman, Highland Storm, was formed in 2022 to deliver a special high-energy entertainment twist to festivals, conferences and parties. Several of its members will be familiar to Te Anau Tartan Festival audiences, having performed previously to sold-out shows as members of the band Pipeworkz, which performed at the festival in 2017 and 2019.
Last year Highland Storm performed to high acclaim at the Arrowtown Autumn Festival and Alexandra Blossom Festival.
Unlike the seated concerts held as part of the Tartan Festival in the past, this year’s will feature casual,
cocktail-style seating and a dance floor for people to mix and mingle and enjoy the music, with refreshments available throughout the night.
The show will bring a modern and Kiwi twist to a traditional Scottish Ceilidh. Ceilidh descends from the Gaelic word for a gathering or party and is synonymous with a fun-filled night of great music, dancing and company.
