The Christchurch-based, Manuka Hunnies, is a collective blend of the strong with the sweet – Susan L. Grant (award-winning instrumentalist) and Lynette Diaz (award-winning songwriter), combine their talents to create the base of this alt-folk/americana/blues blend of sweet and edgy vocals, spirited and inventive fingerstyle/slide guitar, strong original compositions and fresh interpretations of stylistic covers.

In December, the full force of this collective, seen at the Christchurch Folk Club in 2018, will include the spine-tingling accordion of Sophia Bidwell, the tastefully blended soulful cello of Nicole Reddington along with their delicate harmonies and supreme musicianship.
