Library celebrates local music

Warkworth Library is getting into the spirit of NZ Music Month with a series of free events over May.

The programme kicked off with performances by the Mahurangi Ramblers on May 3 and North Soul Community Choir on May 4.

Library manager Lisa Outwin says that celebrating art and culture is an important part of the library’s role.

“It’s an opportunity to capture some of the breadth and talent of our local musicians, from a cappella choirs to ukulele groups and jazz bands, and bring them into the library, help promote them and expose them to a different audience,” Lisa says.

The line-up for the reminder of the month is as follows:
•     Dianne Morgan ukulele workshop, Saturday, May 11, from 10.30am
•     Andy Richards, guitar and vocals, Saturday May 18, 1pm
•     Aysha Robertson, ukulele and vocal, Friday, May 24, 2pm
•     The Motherpluckers, ukulele and vocals, Friday May 30, 10am
