Media Release – December 14 - for immediate release

Waitakere Sounds 2010 promises a whole lotto family fun

Waitakere Sounds returns in 2010 with four fabulous, free family concerts, staged in some of Waitakere City’s grooviest parks and covering musical tastes from Motown smooth to the keen edge of local hip hop.

Waitangi Day Out West has become the Waitakere Sounds’ annual launch day and this year Henderson Park will be rocking it with a chart topping line up headed by 2009 sensations Midnight Youth. Joining the multi-Tui award winning band on Saturday 6 February will be singles chart regular Dane Rumble and West Auckland's own fast-rising funk/reggae 5-piece Soljah.

On Sunday 21 February Henderson Park hosts Hip Hop Lives Here, with Kiwi grand master King Kapisi topping a bill that also includes double Pacific Music Awards winner Tha Feelstyle and New Zealand’s own Sellaband recording pioneer Maitreya.

Sunday 14 March will see entertaining Lotto front man Russell Harrison and his Motown Band filling Luckens Reserve at West Harbour with the sounds of The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Jacksons and many more family faves for Motown in the Park.

The fourth and final of the 2010 free music in parks programme finds Waitakere Sounds pumping it way out west in the Piha Domain, with an all-star DJ Beach Party on the afternoon of Sunday 21 March. Luminary DJs manning the decks for four hours of fun in the sun will include Roger Perry, Clarke Gayford, T Rice and Dick ‘Magik’ Johnson. This one will really burn it up in a fitting west coast climax to Waitakere Sounds 2010.

Programmes are available at Waitakere City Council offices, libraries, leisure centres etc. or more info online visit www.waitakeresounds.co.nz
