A concert featuring one of the country’s best selling country music artists, Dennis Marsh, as well as The Toner Sisters is being held in Orewa to raise funds for organisations that help young people.
The New Horizon Show has been organised by Jim Morrogh who has a background in the entertainment business and a strong interest in the wellbeing of young people. He was looking for a way to support local organisations that have the welfare of youth at heart, and a concert seemed the perfect option, given his show business connections.
Jim says that the concert features easy listening music and family values. As well as the two headline acts, there will be a performance by Brigid Sinclair’s ACHoired Taste choir, which performs a mix of world, folk and gospel music. Local musician Nick Jones will play electric violin and keyboards; Nick is also leading a six-piece band of local musicians that has formed to back Dennis Marsh and The Toner Sisters.
Profits from the show are being donated to Rugged Learning Adventures and the Hibiscus Coast Youth Centre. Rugged Learning Adventures (formerly Windy Ridge), near Warkworth, is a camp that combines adventure farm retreats with phonics, to help those struggling with reading and the Hibiscus Coast Youth Centre in Western Reserve, Orewa, provides a wide range of programmes and support that provides a ‘safe haven’ for youth. Rugged Learning Adventures will put the donation towards its current building improvements and the purchase of a gas fridge, while the Youth Centre says among the items the money will help towards is a second van to transport young people to and from the centre.
The concert is on at Orewa Arts & Events Centre, Orewa College, Riverside Road, Orewa, on May 27, 7.30pm. Tickets from Eventfinda, phone 0800 289 849.
