Warkworth Wellsford Hospice have had to cancel the Jazz Connection concert this Saturday night, June 13, and are offering refunds for anyone who purchased tickets. Contact 425 9535.
Two local bands will bring some swing to the Warkworth Bowls Club this month in support of the local hospice.
The Jazz Connection and The Mahurangi Ramblers are playing at the club from 7pm to 10pm on Saturday June 13, and promise three hours of pure entertainment.
This is the second year that band leader David Spivey has organised the event to raise funds for Warkworth Wellsford Hospice. Tickets sold out last year and the bands kept the dance floor filled for much of the night.
Funds raised will help hospice provide medical care for terminally ill patients in their homes and emotional, spiritual, social and practical support for patients and family members. The hospice receives limited government funding and needs to raise $1900 a day to keep all its services free of charge.
Complementary snacks will be served and guests will be able to buy drinks at the club bar. Tickets are $20 and are available from Hospice House, phone 425 9535, and the hospice shops in Warkworth and Wellsford. Entry is limited to 120 people.
