Description Rosy Tin Teacaddy are Billy Earl (Andy Hummel, Woolshed Sessions) and Betty Grey (Holly Jane Ewens) who, courtesy of CreativeNZ and the Dept. of Conservation, have been away on sabbatical to Lake Tarawera as recipients of a Wild Creations residency. Their four nights at BATS will explore this bubbly terrain both visually and aurally. Combining brand new songs written at the lake with those from their two earlier records, Billy and Betty welcome you further into their world by extending the storytelling prowess synonymous with their albums and live shows, 'In many ways these stories seem to all play out against the same slightly off kilter, slightly other-worldly backdrop – songs that exist in a nostalgic part of the countryside, or a quiet corner of the past, or conceivably both. There are departures but there is also the imminent return.' (Jenah Shaw, Wellington Live Music Review for 2009's The Homeward Stretch).
