- first band will be on by 8.30 each night.
- sign of the hag includes dan beban from orchestra of spheres, and they use spinning wheels (!)
...- mela is helen greenfield from chch, who did a beautiful cathedral music set using old analogue synths at the last lines of flight.
- kusum normoyle is not to be missed!!

All great lineups, and we can't wait! Many acts will be accompanied by films, and we'll talk more about this in the coming weeks. The opening act Seht will be accompanied by a new film by Dunedin artist/filmmaker/musician Kim Pieters, specially made for Lines of Flight.

We'll sort out some transport options for people getting back into town at the end of the nights, as we did last time. More information will be posted on this later. For those out-of-towners who don't know, Port Chalmers is 10 minutes drive out of Dunedin along the west side of the harbour.

Keep checking the blog as we will continue to update information as it comes to hand.
