Wellingtons finest digi-bongo-acapella-rap-influenced, guitar-based bongo-funk group are back for a one-off charity performance this Saturday. On November the 1st, Flight of the Conchords will be playing at the Buffalo Grand Hall, upstairs from Bats Theatre in Wellington NZ, starting at 10pm.
Tickets will be sold for $15, and there will be door sales only.
The concert is in aid of a production currently playing in the Bats ‘Stab’ season. DnA is a story based on a Greek tragedy, but the cast and crew have had their own particular bad luck, with thousands of dollars worth of theatre equiptment stolen two weeks ago.
DnA’s director, Jacqueline Coats comments “When things like the robbery happen, it makes the world seem a bit bleak, but then you get support like we’ve had from the Conchords and everyone else, and you realise there are good people out there.” DnA will have its last performance on Saturday night before the gig.
San Diego Line Party leader rune* writes: Even as the fires continue to burn in some parts of San Diego County, I’d like to encourage the SD Ringers (and those in other parts of So Cal too!) to lend a hand and donate blood. [More]
The Howard Shore concert promoters wrote to say that there has been a slight delay on tickets going on sale and these will now be available via Ticketek as on Saturday November 1.
All Ticketek operators should now be aware that this is a pending event. The concert is now called, ‘Lord of the Rings Symphony: Live!’ and it will feature music adapted from Mr Shore’s scores from all three films of Peter Jackson’s astonishing LOTR trilogy.

Thank you for your email.
This is the confirmed runnning time for Return of the King.
Kind regards,
Greater Union/Birch Carroll & Coyle
So there you have it! You cant email them directly, you have to fill out the online form thing. This seems pretty concrete to me!
The Greater Union site is “a 50/50 joint venture” with Roadshow Distributors according to their website. So I guess we can hardly get a better confirmation than that. Roadshow are the ones who distribute the prints to the cinemas in Australia!
