8 down, 18 FREE concerts to go for Shore Sounds ’07!

WEEKEND REVIEW: AteennnnTion Saturday 3rd February: to get down and get funky was the order of the day at the Fort and it was certainly obeyed! Dunc the Funk stirred up the 600+ crowd with some phat bass and led the charge of Dunedin’s Retrophonic Funk Machine and Wellington band The Aviators. A wonderful sunny day assisted the buoyant mood with Rangitoto Island a perfect backdrop to proceedings. Sunday’s 3rd Solo Sunday’s concert was yet another relaxing afternoon accompanied by the awesome songwriting of Nick Hohepa and the enchanting tones of pianist and singer Lisa Crawley. On arriving at the concert I was instantly approached by an audience member who saw the Shore Sounds branded BMW vehicle (I have lucked into) asking, “who is this girl and telling me they thought this years series was brilliant” – who needs a publicist! Another great weekend!
