We regularly perform at a variety of events – see the Gigs page for upcoming performances.
We practice every Monday from 7.00pm–9.00pm at the Auckland Bowling Club, Grafton Mews (off Stanley Street) in central Auckland. Everyone is welcome to come and observe.
Drop us an email if you plan to turn up so that we know to expect you and can tell you if there are any time or venue changes.
You will also need to bring earplugs.

]]>The Mika Haka Foundation (MHF) is a charitable trust formed to deliver the inclusive vision of successful Maori artist and entertainer, Mika, of an extraordinary future for all young New Zealanders – in particular, young people from diverse backgrounds and minority communities.
The Mika Haka Foundation invites people of diverse ethnicities, cultures, sexualities and religions, living in Aotearoa/New Zealand, to find pathways towards better health and education opportunities through physical culture and the performing arts.
We aim to provide young people with direction and create an understanding of self-discipline and boundaries. Maori refer to this as Tikanga. This direction helps to empower young people to set goals and take responsibility for their own lives. We promote healthy living and always aim to lead by example.
