As a lovely result of our last visit to Wellington with the Unsung Heroes Band, our Sonia & Nigel duo has been invited back to perform at the Hilltop house concert series near the top of the Wellington cable car and botanical gardens. We will be playing a show there on the 15th of November then offering two workshops on the 16th: a French music workshop and a guitar/ukulele/singing workshop after that. Details about the November 16th workshops will be posted soon.
Please book your tickets through Anna's Hilltop website linked below. The address will then be sent to your email.
Merci et à bientôt in Wellington!
"Sonia Wilson & Nigel Gavin Duo
Gate opens 7pm
Music Starts 7.30pm
Saturday 15 November 2025
Auckland based Sonia & Nigel are a multi-cultural acoustic duo featuring French-American Paris-born Sonia Wilson on vocals & ukulele and Kiwi-American virtuoso musician Nigel Gavin on 7-string guitar. After meeting and playing together for the first time at the Whare Flat Folk festival in Dunedin during Sonia’s first visit to New Zealand in December 2014, the pair have become a well-loved duo in the New Zealand folk music scene. They weave French, Kiwi and American songs with their own original compositions and inspiration from their travels around the world.
They are also both members of the wonderful Unsung Heroes.
