We are thrilled to be able to offer you the chance to win a double pass to ONE DROP Matakana. See below for competition details.

The not-to-be-missed ONE DROP events will reunite some of the original marauders of Aotearoa roots music: Fat Freddyʼs Drop, with TrinityRoots and Cornerstone Roots presenting the festivities at Matakanaʼs Ascension Wine Estate on Monday 2nd January 2012, and Fat Freddy's Drop and the Nudge bringing the party to Havelock North's Black Barn Vineyards on Saturday January 7th.

And if you love food as well as music, Fat Freddyʼs Drop will be feeding some lucky fans when band member Iain Gordon cooks his world famous Paua Wontons. Keyboardist and cook Iain Gordon, aka Dobie Blaze, will be accompanied by fellow Freddyʼs band members (including Hopepa on DJ duties) as he folds, cooks, and serves free Paua Wontons - the Euro Asian Pacific fried fantasy party pleaser will be served to the first 100 people with ONE DROP tickets that make it through the gates to each of the cooking shows. Itʼll be the place to be, just follow your nose to The Oak Grill Bistro at Ascension or the Growerʼs Market at Black Barn.

The concept of serving Paua Wontons to the people before the shows follows a successful cooking demo that Gordon and Freddy's presented on the Chefʼs Unplugged stage at Harvest at Jimmyʼs Festival in the UK earlier this year. Since then the band have filmed and released a video,ʼ FAT FREDDYʼS DROP PRESENTS KISS DA COOK Episode 3: PAUA WONTONS with Chilli Quince Sauceʼ. The video follows the Paua Wontons recipe from the ocean to the plate and features the bandʼs party tune The Nod.

Following the Paua Wontons entrée, the live music on the menu for ONE DROP kicks off in earnest.
