If you remember the days when music seemed a natural part of a social get together – a singalong around the piano or joining in with friends playing the guitar at a party – you will relate to the spirit of the New Horizon Variety Show which takes place this month in Orewa.
Organiser of the show, Jim Morrogh, says creating and enjoying home made entertainment was a big part of his youth, which is why a good old community singalong will be included in this, the second New Horizon show.
Jim says people went away with a good feeling from the mix of humour and easy listening music at last year’s show and this encouraged him to hold another.
Once again the show features a mix of easy listening music including folk, pop, blues and country.
It features local musicians including Nick Jones as musical director and A Choired Taste Hibiscus, with its eclectic mix of folk, world, gospel and pop. Performers also include Dennis Marsh who sings in a wide range of easy listening styles, Ronnie Antonio who has the voice to match his selection of ballads, and Celtic singers Celine and Samantha Toner – they perform under the name Mo Ghra, which translates as My Love.
Profits from the show will be donated to two local organisations that provide support services for youth – the Hibiscus Coast Youth Centre and Rugged Learning Adventures.
The New Horizon Variety Show is on Saturday, April 14 at the Orewa Arts and Events Centre, 7.30pm. Tickets from Eventfinda.
