Half Moon
Half Moon is Rob Reid and Dave Allen, both well-known around the lower North Island playing in Harvest Moon, Salty Hearts, Short Term Memory, In the Groove, Hogsnort Bulldogs, Gravel Road, and Four on the Floor.
Rob and Dave both sing and play a range of instruments including acoustic and electric guitars, ukulele, banjo and harmonica. The Half Moon name is a light-hearted, respectful nod to Wellington band Harvest Moon, which is how they first met.
Half Moon’s material covers a broad sweep of genres, focussed around acoustic instruments and vocal harmonies, and a repertoire that includes plenty of well-known material and some personal favourites.
