Mangawhai concert to honour burn victim

Tempist Fujit are back after a brief stint in the studio to launch their second single, Daynes Song, at a concert in Mangawhai on March 31.

The single is dedicated to band members’ relative, Dayne McCallum.

Band spokesperson Doug Gordon says after an accident involving fire at 13, Dayne showed incredible strength in adversity while recovering from third degree burns to his face, hands and body.

“Dayne is a true warrior and has overcome all challenges put in front of him to continue living a life of love, happiness and prosperity,” he says.

Dayne will feature in a music video, also to be released on   March 31, via YouTube and Tempist Fujit’s Facebook page.

Along with tracks from their soon to be released debut album, Tempist Fujit  will play some of their classic hits as part of their set.

Special guests on the night will be Moondogs Blues, a two piece rockabilly duo.

Tempist Fujit play at the Mangawhai Tavern on March 31 at 8.30pm. Tickets $10, available from eventfinda.co.nz.
