The Waiheke International Soul Orchestra was the headline act at the first Leigh Summer Festival on Saturday, February 3, adding a welcome splash of warmth and colour when the clouds loomed and the rain came down. Despite the weather, the new-look fundraiser for Leigh School was a great success, with a wide range of market stalls and three bands on a professional sound stage attracting good crowds. Old favourites like the ice slide, fish auctions and the food tent combined with the music and market to raise $15,000 for the school. Photo, Bandwagon
