Incorporating a trio of Sessions into her current “Bones” tour, she silenced a capacity audience in the historic (how historic? It’s older than Jamie!!) OngaOnga hall, taking us with her for a couple of hours of (nearly) all-new material. Vocal injury be damned, she gave it her all, warts and all

First off, hats off the Tuning Fork crew. One of the greatest little venues in Auckland town opened its limited capacity, Covid-combatting doors to punters for its first post-lockdown music gig last Saturday night – the inimitable Hollie Smith performing in an intimate cabaret-style seated affair.

The vintage venue always seems to host gigs that stand out as something special, and this was no exception.

It has been ten years since Hollie Smith released her double platinum Long Player album in May of 2007; an album that put her on the map of New Zealand music and crowned her as one of New Zealand's best soul and jazz singers.

Back then she was elegantly decked out in her customary black – black dress, black boots, dark make up and long jet black hair.
