Magazine Award-winning Irish-Kiwi guitarist/composer Dave Flynn returns to New Zealand with an exciting expansion of his acclaimed show Celtic Guitar Journey. For his extensive Summer/Autumn 2025 tour of Aotearoa, Flynn will blend familiar Celtic sounds with fresh flavours from his global travels. From Ireland to Andalucía and Beyond 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. New arrangements of music from Brittany (France) and Cape Breton (Canada) further his explorations of global Celtic culture. Kiwi Connections Praised by the New York Times for the "power and grittiness" of his music, Flynn’s latest compositions reflect the landscapes and cultures he’s encountered during his decade-long travels around New Zealand. These 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. What to Expect 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. An Immersive Journey Flynn’s performances are more than just concerts—they’re immersive journeys through heritage and history. With his virtuosic guitar playing and engaging storytelling, he brings new life to the rich tapestry and heritage of Celtic music. Connecting continents, traditions, and generations - don’t miss the chance to experience Dave Flynn’s latest Celtic Guitar Journey around New Zealand/Aotearoa.

"2025 Winner Golden Globe Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, 2025 Nominee Golden Globe Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy 2025 Nominee Golden Globe Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy Cynthia Erivo 2025 Nominee Golden Globe Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in Wicked (2024) Glinda After two decades as one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked makes its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event. Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart. The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda's unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba's determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. DIRECTOR: Jon M.

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart. The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda's unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba's determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. DIRECTOR: Jon M.
