Town Hall show

Days after the Christchurch shootings, Warkworth Town Hall facilitator Alex Hayward woke up and thought, “We’ve got the venue – why don’t we have a fundraising concert?”

The result of that early morning idea is Love For Christchurch, a night of music and entertainment headlined by renowned covers band White Chapel Jak, this Thursday, April 4.

The show will open at 6.30pm with a performance by the Mahurangi College senior kapa haka group.

They will be followed by Aysha, an acoustic ukulele player from Matakana, and popular local singer and guitarist Andy Richards, before White Chapel Jak takes to the stage. Alex says that all artists involved in the concert hadn’t hesitated to get involved.

All musicians are performing for free so that all proceeds can go to Christchurch. Tickets cost $15 and are available from Warkworth Town Hall and Harts Pharmacy, or can be reserved online via the Town Hall Facebook page. Doors open at 5.30pm and refreshments will be available. There will also be a book of condolence open at the Town Hall for anyone to sign.
