Leigh School field will be rocking to the sounds of soul funk percussion collective Waiheke International Soul Orchestra on Saturday, February 3. The nine-piece band will be headlining and playing two sets at the new Leigh Summer Festival, which replaces the old annual Easter fair as the school’s main fundraiser.
Also playing the full-size professional sound stage will be The Monkey Assassins and T.A.N.G. – which stands for Top Ace Nut Gun. Organisers say there will be music all day, from 10am to 4pm. The festival will also feature a large community market with more than 30 stallholders selling a wide range of items, including local honey, jewellery and organic produce, as well as a display of vintage cars.
Two food tents will be selling bacon and egg butties, Leigh Fish burgers, spit-roast lamb baps, sausages and veggie items, and there will be rides, games, bouncy castles and an ice slide for the kids.
In addition, the school pool will be open for a dip, the popular quick-fire fish raffles will be run and a silent auction is being held.
