Dublin-born, Aotearoa-based musician Dónal Gunning is hitting the road with his band The Bucks to celebrate the release of his debut album, No Other Option.

Since moving to New Zealand in 2022 to pursue music full-time, Dónal (Dough-null) has built a reputation for high-energy live shows, blending Irish charm with the attitude of classic rock, indie and grunge. Two national tours, an international tour of Ireland, two EPs and a string of singles have laid the groundwork for his debut album.

From Ireland to New Zealand, No Other Option is a collection of songs about packing up your life and pursuing music on the other side of the world — 10 tracks covering life, love, struggle and fun.
Released in October 2026, Dónal & The Bucks are taking the album to stages around Aotearoa.

Whether you're a longtime follower or discovering Dónal for the first time, these shows are a chance to catch an Irish musician making his mark in the southern hemisphere.

The Musicians Club’s Fandangle Tribute to Annie
Fridaynui 2 October, 7pm
Whanganui lost one of its formidable creative talents earlier this month with the passing of the wonderful Annie Keating. Annie was a founding member of our thriving Musicians Club whose success has a lot to do with her work over many years as club Secretary. As with everything she did throughout her life, Annie poured her heart and soul into the club, and she will be greatly missed.
That is why the club’s October meeting will be a Fandangle Tribute to Annie, (‘fandangle’ being a term of affection used often by her father when she was growing up). Her brother Johnny will be performing with his band Outawork Genius, and already Whanganui favourites the Rustlers and Bad Juju have put their bands forward to join in the celebration.
This is Fridaynui, the first Friday of the month and Whanganui’s most celebrated Open Mic kicks off at 7pm. There is sure to be a wealth of local talent coming out to join the party, so make sure you come early to put your name on the whiteboard if you want a spot on the famous stage. The club nights have been rock solid all winter and we look forward to having you join us whether you come to perform, dance to the music or simply enjoy an evening of great entertainment with people who meet regularly to keep the music live. This month is dedicated to Annie and all her whanau and friends. Come join us.
Friday 2 October, 7pm @ Whanganui Musicians Club, 65 Drews Ave
$20 General Admission, Members $10, Memberships available at the door

Fridaynui 3 July Club Night
Open Mic ... and then ....
Local legend XRVR and Radar Angel featuring Danny Webster on vocals and songwriting, Bryan Tabuteau on synths and programming, Saz Scanlan beating the drums and Josh Buckler playing saxophone. They have been performing together for near on ten years, and describe themselves as:
“Hailing from Te Whanganui-a-Tara, we are a four-piece synthfoolery ensemble who blend industrial grit with lush nostalgic sounds from the dawn of the digital age, all with a lavish theatricality and pop sensibility that never fails to get your limbs thrashing. Our songwriting draws on themes of dark, esoteric futurism (or futurist esotericism?), tempered by a very present concern for the preservation and celebration of nature and the human spirit”.
