FANCY A (VIRTUAL) TRIP TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE?
Violinist Fiona Pears and guitarist Connor Hartley-Hall share a love of Gypsy Jazz. This music was originally made famous by legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt and French virtuoso violinist Stéphane Grappelli, when they formed the 'Quintette du Hot Club de France' back in the 1930s.
The music Fiona and Connor will be performing in their upcoming show at OSPA Theatre, Onewhero on 14 February will be a mix of fiery Gypsy jazz, heart-warming ballads and some well-known classics such as ‘Czardas‘ and ‘Dark Eyes’. “We are delighted to be starting 2021 off with such an exciting and dynamic show”, said OSPA President, Sylvia Devlin. “Our audience can take a virtual trip to the South of France from the comfort of the concert. This is definitely a musical experience not to be missed.”
Tickets are $25 and are on sale now at www.ospa.org.nz... or (cash sales) at The Goodness Grocer, 216 King Street, Pukekohe. Doors open at 7.00pm on Sunday 14 February.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
34.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
64.7% No, I enjoy it
-
1% Other - I'll share below
