The Deadwood Stage is a frequent / infrequent night of Live Music & Visuals from the best in local and not-so-local talent
Review of the opening night from The Journal - "Without any pretence, Moa takes to the stage and knocks out a sequence of folk tales so intricate in their melodies and finger-picking that it is difficult to imagine how an individual could play all this alone. Surely there should be more guitars somewhere? A quick glance around Henry's Cellar discovers awe pervading the room, jaws dropping, and bodies being repositioned to get a better view.
Introducing one number as “a scary song...but not that scary,†we are treated to the sight of Moa’s left hand flying and twisting across the fretboard with startling fluency. Bum notes? Nope. It is all too much for some members of the audience by the time we reach the concluding exuberance of ‘Emperor.’ Turning the acoustic guitar onto its back and playing a harmonic tapping melody whilst keeping a steady rhythm through drumming the body and finger-clicking, we’re witnessing a level of skill on the old 6-string instrument not normally seen at the everyday gig."
The Deadwood Stage has been on a University / Work commitment fueled haitus of recent but shall hopefully be returning at some point over the summer

The evening at Henry's Cellar Bar couldn't have gone much better, all three sets were fantastic and there was a pretty good crowd of people there to see them all.Fergus Weir at The Journal has written... Posted by on Sat, 15 Mar 2008 10:06:00 GMT
