Waitakere Sounds Kicks Off With Over 3000

More than 3000 people attended the launch of the annual Waitakere Sounds concert series yesterday (February 6).

The Waitangi day concert at Henderson Park featured, among others, Herbs Unplugged and the legendary John Rowles.

Waitakere Sounds is organised by Waitakere City Council with supporting sponsors KEA Campers, the Falls Café & Restaurant and radio station Coast FM .

Judy Lawley, chairperson of the Council’s Culture, Arts and Events Committee says the show was a huge success and augurs well for the rest of the summer. “The crowd was fantastic, the weather as great and there was a real fun-filled, community atmosphere,” she says.

“And best of all people get the opportunity to have a great day out, listening to some of New Zealand’s best musicians for free.”

Councillor Lawley says that an added bonus is that the concert series, often, introduces local people to parks that they may not use regularly- or indeed know about at all.

The next concert is at Harbourview-Orangihina Reserve (on Te Atatu Peninsula), on February 17. It runs from 5pm-9pm and the headline act is Hello Sailor.
