Couch chats coming up

Nichola Vague

The final line-up of On the Couch stars has been confirmed, and tickets are on sale now.

On the Couch will be a lead-up event to the BOP Garden & Art Festival, being held on November 15-18, and will be at Baycourt on August 24.

Instead of film stars, the chat show-style event will feature rock stars of the garden and art world, talking about what makes them tick.

The line-up will include landscape architect Nichola Vague, whose clients have included Middle Eastern royalty. She was also a key design team member of Dubai's spectacular desert paradise of Bab Al Shams Resort.

Nichola will be joined on the couch by Dan Shea from Mills Reef Winery, who knows plenty about the 'from grape to glass” process, tree specialist and Parks and Recreation consultant Geoff Canham, local sculptor and artist Dave Roy and Katikati gardener Gary Cook, who can be considered the Doctor Doolittle of the plant world.

A special guest will be singer Catriona Fallon, formerly of Riverdance fame.

Ruud Kleinpaste – aka ‘The Bug Man' – will be master of ceremonies.

Tickets are available from Ticketek or at the Baycourt box office.

Tickets cost $39 for adult general admission. Concession price is $35 (for students and pensioners), while tickets for groups of eight or more, Friends of Baycourt and Garden and Art Festival members are $32. Booking and credit fees apply.

On the Couch is being brought to the Baycourt stage by Craigs Investment Partners.
