Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

Well. Edinburgh Fringe has finished, and the Barden Party have packed up our ropes and instruments and parted ways, some back to New Zealand, some going on to more adventures in Europe. We're so thrilled at the reception we got in Edinburgh; five star reviews, pages of positive audience reactions, sold out shows, and many, many requests to come back next year. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we owe a huge thank you to a lot of people, but especially those people who supported us financially. Creating art in this economy is a real privilege, and we don't take that lightly. We consider ourselves incredibly luck to have had this experience. Some of you will know that usually, we do everything ourselves, from the creative side to the logistics, to marketing (although in Edinburgh we were lucky to be working with the incredible team at Chloe Nelkin Consulting for PR support). In saying that, it also takes a village. We couldn't have done this without our support networks, from partners, to parents, to friends, family, and our creative whanau. Thank you all for your support and love. We are so grateful. Thank you, ngā mihi nui kia koutou. Love, The Barden Party.
