More than 260 people boogied the night away at the Love for Christchurch concert held at the Warkworth Town Hall on April 4, raising $4500 through ticket and food sales.
Facility coordinator Alex Haywood said it was great to see the hall filled with people of all ages getting up and having a dance.
“When White Chapel Jak came on, the hall was literally jumping and there would have been fewer than 50 still sitting. It was a feel-good moment in every sense being a great thing for two communities.”
Alex says the feedback on the night was so positive that she wants to hold an annual spring event at the Town Hall.
“It has been 60 years since we had the last debutante ball at the hall in 1959. This year, when clocks go forward, we would like to do something so people can have a dance to celebrate the end of winter.
“Since the concert, a lot of people have commented that this is what the area needs.”
Andy Richards and White Chapel Jack auctioned CDs and t-shirts raising a further $150 on the night, while food was donated by Viet Q and water by Countdown.
