Dance for free at Uxbridge in Howick this Saturday
Calling East Aucklanders who dig a dance – there’s a free concert by Little Earle and Friends (Count Bassy and Drummer Darryn) at Howick’s Uxbridge Arts & Culture this Saturday, February 25, from midday to 2pm.
Little Earle says their set has “groovy hits and tasty obscurities” by American rhythm n’ blues and soul music artists such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Sam Cooke, James Brown, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker and Howlin’ Wolf.
“The Uxbridge Arts & Culture concert is one of a series of gigs in community centres Auckland-wide, designed for dancers of all ages,” he says.
“Thanks to the pandemic, many kids have never seen live music, and it’s not easy for older folks to make it to late-night concerts in inner-city venues.
“In response, these concerts, proudly supported by Manatu Taonga, the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, are accessible, easy-going and best of all free to the public.”
Right on, Brother, Little Earle. Cats will be swingin’ – PJ

Missing cat: Cream
Hi there. We are missing our cat Cream. She has white long hair and blue eyes. She is very nervous and probably hiding under a deck or tarp or somewhere quiet. I think she was scared of the weather last night. That is when we saw her last. She has health issues and on a special diet. Please don’t feed her.
