Zippys Events and Catering

30/04/2022

Running outdoor events is always plagued with small challenges.

Some of the biggest issues to overcome are power and safety of the guests.

Last night after months of prep and working closely with a great team to bring 150ppl an exclusive event as the first instalment of . A Live music and performance event that Nelson has never seen before.

We picked up 150 guests and shuttled them to and from the venue and gave them a night to remember offering local talent and Nelson food and beverage companies that love what they do just like us.

Zippys took care of the technical leaning Elyse the Event Director to take care of everything else to give guests a near flawless experience. Boomshakalaka.

More to come over winter, if you want to experience this amazing venue chat to me.

Well done to all involved and thank you for making it happen.

Hello fans of Zippys. It is with a heavy heart that i decided to close the coffee and lunch bar yesterday. The support and love from our regular customers, which includes some new ones too, was overwhelming. The big question that came from everyone is what's next for Zippy? Well we have for many years been involved with events and catering and that will continue. I have worked with many incredible people over the last couple years to create transformational retreats, events and food to nourish guests. The passion does not stop, i've been cooking since i was 9 and i'm not about to stop. I'm looking for new ideas but the reality is under the current government mandates there are not enough customers, so i will be making pies and sharing the love soon. watch this space. much love to everyone who supported me and Zippys over the last 8 months, you know who you are.

Today will be our last service.

Sure I have reasons and views and opinions.

But the reality is there is not enough customers coming through our door right now to keep this dream alive.

Thank you to all those that have supported us.

It’s a simple case of use it or loose it.

Zippy.

More about In The Shallows...

When Welsh singer-songwriter Danni Parsons found harmonic delight in the raw vocals of Kiwi rock & roller Lance Shepherd.... Wellington based Indie Folk-Pop band 'In The Shallows' was born. Their studio recordings also feature Andrew Bain (Fur Patrol) and Nick Brown (Eb & Sparrow, Vorn).

Together they offer up an exquisitely diverse and silken sound that weaves together soaring harmonies, mesmerising vocals & acoustic guitars with relatable lyrics about intricate tales of love, loss, connection, redemption and empowerment.

Their 5* rated debut album produced by Steve Rokosh (Calgary, Canada and Nashville, USA) and released in Nov 21, won over the ears, heart and soul of muzic.net.nz's Kev Rowland who said 'anyone who enjoys acoustic music, performed by some wonderful singers, containing songs with a purpose yet so varied that the album never gets tiring, will find this simply essential.'

Highly recommended, their last single There You Are also received 5*'s from Muzic.net.nz and was voted the Top 10 Single for 2021. Let's Not Start a War received a 10/10 review from UK's House of Prog and was reviewed enthusiastically by media outlets around the world, including HappyMag AU, BuzzMusic LA & many others.
