Over 60 people attended the Max Cryer concert in Warkworth last month, raising $1800 for the Warkworth Town Hall restoration.
Trust member Glennys Oliver says the performance included snippets of information about New Zealand history, including lyrics from songs entered into a national anthem writing competition last century. “The audience felt only delight that these songs, with their over embellished landscapes and descriptive words, failed to be chosen.
One little known, or even remembered, historic All Black song was also performed, which is played only on the black keys of the piano.”
Koru Knitwear sponsored the event. Director Jan Kell presented Max with a knitted jacket made of merino wool and possum fur. Pictured, from left, pianist Kim Naden, Jan Kell and Max Cryer wearing the jacket he was presented with.
