The “Moody Blues” are making their first visit to New Zealand in April 2005. To celebrate this a “Nights in White Satin” has been organised for Saturday 8 January from 5pm to 8.30pm at Harcourt Park, Upper Hutt.

Lambert adds that BBQ facilities are available at Harcourt Park or Brown Owl Fish and Chips shop is nearby. With a capacity audience of 4000 expected at the Concert at the Events Centre in Wellington, Lambert hopes for a good crowd at Harcourt Park.
