Grayson Gilmour's Hundred Waters
Christchurch Art Gallery's first gig of 2017 was massive! Multi-instrumentalist Grayson Gilmour hit the Gallery with his band and a brand new set full of material from his soon to be released album Otherness (due out mid-2017).
Support came from the amazing Purple Pilgrims and New Dawn.
Grayson perfomed on 3 March 2017 as part of Christchurch Art Gallery's Gigs at the Gallery series.
Notes
Gallery Happenings: Grayson Gilmour
In early March we were lucky enough to have the incredibly talented Grayson Gilmour performing at the Gallery, supported by the equally talented Purple Pilgrims and New Dawn. I love these gigs, but there is a lot of work to be done behind the scenes to make sure that, by the time the public walk in the door, the foyer is gig ready. The process normally feels like a long, slow marathon with a sprint at the final corner. So here’s a guide to how you too can get the NZI Foyer gig-ready in five (or six) easy steps.
