Maitreya is an artist with rare and unmistakable honesty. Powerful storytelling combined with Maori & English rhymes make for a flow that's banana's & 100% original.  His LP Close To Home takes U on a journey thru sound into the life of an everyday hero who's taken his craft from NZ to stages across the globe.

Ian Blaine, Hypnotist.
Ending the week with a good laugh at others expense, The Stage Hypnosis Show is only limited to the volunteers own individual untapped imagination, which is unlocked with hypnosis, taking the stars of the show (volunteers, YOU perhaps??) to a heightened awareness of their imagination to the point that it becomes their complete reality.
