Chocolate Fish

Chocolate Fish
When three kiwi singers, each with claims on the popular music tradition, forge a band with one purpose – to stir you heart and soul – you wanna be there!
Anu Grace, Pete Reilly, Chris Orange and Manuel Kahura cook up a gorgeous mix of voices, with flute, guitar, double bass and percussion that reaches back into the tradition of modern popular music – jazz, rock, blues, country –swing, folk, samba and bossa – and celebrate the songs you know and love like you’ve never heard them – live!
Anu Grace’s singing and flute are stunning accompaniments to a special event and, together with Pete Reilly on guitar synth, and Chris Orange on bass, and Manuel Kahura on drums, Chocolate Fish deliver cool, jazzy instrumentals that set the mood for your guests, through swingin’, rockin, pop standards that get you up and keep you dancing. Something of a Waiheke institution - having entertained on the island for over a decade –

Chocolate Fish now live on Waiheke, and are available to play almost anywhere. Auckland’s best kept secret -they are the sound of Waiheke – and when people want real music - with heart and soul - they call Chocolate Fish.

Ideal For: private party, wedding reception, corporate function on Waiheke Island

Thanks for your email Kellie.

Chocolate Fish were fantastic. Very easy to deal with prior to the function and very pleasant and accommodating on the night. Their music was perfect for our function and I would certainly book them again if the requirement was there.

Our function went very well thank you.
