2026 Muster Entertainment

We’re thrilled to welcome Michèle A’Court ONZM back to The Muster. One of Aotearoa’s most loved comedians, writers and actors, Michèle A’Court lit up our inaugural Muster in 2024 with her wit, wisdom and sharp-as-ever comedy – and she’s bringing it all back to Tokanui this March.
Author of two bestselling books, Stuff I Forgot to Tell My Daughter and How We Met, Michèle is a regular columnist for NZ Woman’s Weekly. On screen, she’s appeared in favourites like 7 Days, Shortland Street and The Brokenwood Mysteries – and she’s also been a host and guest on podcasts and web series including the award-nominated feminist series On The Rag. Expect belly laughs, sharp truths and fearless humour!
As well as entertaining us, Michèle will be running a workshop, Stories Out Loud.

Morina Colyer and Saniya Thompson are the powerhouse duo behind South Pole Dance – an inclusive Waihōpai Invercargill studio offering pole, chair, aerial silks, hoop and more. With a body-positive, empowering approach, they help students of all shapes, ages and abilities build strength, confidence and creativity through dance. You might’ve seen them performing at events like the Invercargill Cabaret Festival or competing as award-winning aerialists. At the heart of their mahi is community, self-expression and joy. Through teaching, performing and creating safe, vibrant spaces, Morina and Saniya are transforming the perception of pole and aerial dance in Murihiku Southland and beyond.
As well as dazzling with a sassy evening performance, they’ll also be running two workshops over the weekend – Chair Dance and Floor Flow – no dance background needed, just bring yourself and be ready to leave the session feeling fierce and fabulous.

Keily is a singer, songwriter and a mother – and along with Invercargill's Triple Shot band – part of the entertainment line-up for The Muster. Originally from northeast England, Keily has called Australia and Aotearoa home for the past 15 years. Now based in Lawrence, Clutha District, with her husband and their three young children, she balances family life and their plumbing business with a fast-rising music career.
Since following her dream to be a musician in 2021, Keily has become a multi-award winner across the motu – including the 2025 NZ Gold Guitar Senior Overall Winner – and is now working towards releasing her own original music.
Alongside music, Keily is active in her community: a Lions Club NZ Youth Liaison representative and activities coordinator at Tuapeka Health. “Living in a rural community, it important to me that I contribute and am a positive advocate and role model. When we do a little, we all reap the benefits and it is important to me that our children see this and one day want to give back also.” The Otago Daily Times praised her “assertive performance style, with a smoky, evocative tone that fills a stadium with ease.”

We are stoked to announce that Khellsey-Anna Atley and her band will be playing at The Muster on Saturday night.
Khellsey-Anna is a local Invercargill singer-songwriter celebrating the wrap of her biggest year yet. 2025 brought the release of her debut album No One Else Gets It, a successful 12-show South Island tour with her band, and plenty of live local shows in the mix. The album showcases a multi-genre blending style, featuring hints of blues, rock, indie-pop, and the occasional acoustic ballad. Also in 2025, Khellsey-Anna took out both Vocalist of the Year and Band of the Year at the Southland Musicians Club Entertainer of the Year awards. Prior to delving back into original music, Khellsey-Anna has spent the last six years jamming in Euphoria, a covers band. When she's not writing and playing music, Khellsey-Anna works as a nurse in womens' healthcare, a true passion of hers.
