Really enjoyed it. Greg Johnson was very good and gave a great performance. No complaints about his show, but venue lacked tables & seating for the type of crowd it was.

I took a group of 9 and everyone was blown away at the quality of the performance and the music. Some didn't really know who Greg was before they got there but just loved his music and performance. The backing group were so professional and you could tell at once that they were all musicians in their own right. We all bought Greg's CDs, and Ned's - Great music, great sound, great venue, nice size audience and nice choice of warm up artist.

Opening act(s): Really great - fantastic idea of Greg's to give unknown NZ musicians/artists an opportunity to play before a large crowd. Charlotte & Garin were excellent. She has a great future ahead of her - a name to watch out for. @

Absolutely fantastic show - again. Greg never disappoints hus guests and this was another outstanding, intimate concert. With front row seats it was easy to sit back and enjoy, as if we were the only ones he was entertaining!

Back up musicians were also outstanding - as if they had all been playing together for years.

Another super gig from Greg and his excellent band of muso's.
The 4 part harmonies were spellbinding and the acoustics were also superb at the Ascension venue. He writes such lovely melodic tunes and performs with a casual relaxed feeling that takes nothing away from the musianship, and his humour between songs adds hugely to the overall ambience of the experience.

must be the 6th or 7th time we've seen GJ so being fans to begin with helps but we took first-timers with us and they loved it. Heck , it's NZ's best and most under-rated singer-songwriter you would have to be hard to please not to enjoy this show. What's not to like ? A great mix of the old and the new (courtesy of the latest album 'Secret Weapon') done with style, passion and professionalism and the songwriting just improves with age.

Harrington Hall is small (167 people i'm told), great acoustically (except for the mouse in the ceiling) and perfect to showcase Greg's tunes as a 'stripped-back' four-piece. I did get an earful for not telling the wife pre-show that it was general admission and we weren't front row like last time but even from the very back it was sweet soulful music.

It wasn't the Powerstation Cocktail Gig which was the 'full-noise' and occasionally I pined for some percussive 'oomph' and a louder guitar but that's not what this venue is about. Besides , the soaring honeyed BV harmonies from Ted Brown, Wayne Bell and Ben King more than made up for that and were a highlight.

Greg Johnson performs as a natural genuine kiwi guy who happens to live in the US.
non stop great performance gives audience what they pay for. Approachable after the show to sign CDs. Harrington hall is a unique intimate small town hall. Greg supported by excellent versitile trio.

Loved the venue - Greg was his usual cheeky self with the audience which only adds to the whole show..................missed not having a drum set for Wayne so we could see his real skills as a musician but overall a concert that I'd never miss when Greg comes home each year..................

A huge shout out to Tim Walker - a total star in the making and I'd love to hear more details from him!!

Greg Johnson was amazing. The whole cocktail bar thing worked well. He is a true entertainer. Guests Flip Grater and Will Martin were really well recieved. I can totally recommend this concert to everyone :-)

What a great night - front row seats, a huge line-up of talented musos, a well-balanced sound system and a chilled out audience determined to relax and enjoy with one of Auckland's favourite prodigal sons. The Powerstation scrubbed up well - although OSH wouldn't recommend pitch black lighting and sudden steps (esp. for folks in full cocktail kit).

The urbane Mr Johnson was enjoying himself hugely, and as an audience member, that's what I like. He's an entertainer to the bone, dispensing largesse in the form of cocktails from the on-stage bar and his well crafted and energetically performed tunes. He didn't stint. This was a packed night of much loved classics and newer material, delivered by a man at the peak of his powers. He was supported by a top notch line-up of backing musos and singers. The horn section was pure class, although they sadly got a little buried in the mix.

'Friends' ranged from folksy Flip, who (thanks to a thoughtful intro) got heard as the audience respected her quieter sound, to cross-over Will Martin. Neither is my thing, but much respect for sheer musicianship. IMO Martin should stick to the pop divas (e.g. Elton John, Freddie Mercury, Meatloaf, Tony Hadleigh) and stay away from edgier stuff.

Overall this was a great night out. Greg Johnson rocked the house for pretty much a solid three hours, including a generous encore. Recommended.
