Australian blues musician Ash Grunwald is bringing his live show to Gisborne’s Lawson Field Theatre on Friday during his New Zealand tour.

With 12 studio albums, Grunwald has six Australian Top 50 albums, two Apra (Australasian Performing Right Association) Awards, a gong for Best International Act at the LA Music Critic Awards in 2014 and has been nominated six times for Aria (Australian Recording Industry Association) awards.

Known for hit collaborations with Australian artists like Josh Teskey, Kasey Chambers and Scott & Andy from The Living End, he has supported international artists such as James Brown, The Black Keys, Jack Johnson, Xavier Rudd and Keith Urban and played at sold-out festivals across Europe, Japan and North America.

The Gisborne Speedway Club has cancelled its race meeting scheduled for Saturday night.

“Unfortunately, due to low competitor numbers, we have made the difficult decision to cancel,” the club posted on the Awapuni Speedway page.

The club had hoped to run the TQ Midgets champion of champions event with local club classes in support.

It will feature the Superstock Points Dash, Repco Ministock 100, Ashley Scott Memorial for stockcars, Production Saloon Champ of Champs and Production Saloon Best Pairs.

A kitchen fire at a Childers Rd house on Wednesday night started after oil in a pot on a stove overheated.
