Music at the Rotunda 1pm Sunday 10 March 2024
Our first Music at the Rotunda for the season, was a fabulous afternoon of entertainment, in the beautiful setting of Rotorua’s Government Gardens! The following two were cancelled due to the weather!
Here's hoping it's a good one this Sunday!
Bring your picnic, rug or chair to make your afternoon more enjoyable but, don’t bring your wine or other favourite alcoholic beverage as there is an alcohol ban in the area.
Our performers this Sunday are:
1:00pm Blues Club, BOP Blues Club Inc‘s very own band
2pm Krissie Knap, born and raised in Rotorua, Krissie, is not only renowned for her recent standout performance as Aunty Lovey in the local hit musical "8 Scott Ave" but also for her extensive contribution to the world of entertainment as both an MC and performer. With a musical journey that spans from the 60s to today's chart-toppers, including classics by The Beatles, KC and the Sunshine Band, New Zealand music, and tracks by the Pussy Cat Dolls, Krissie, is set to bring her exceptional talent to this special occasion.
Enjoy a lovely, relaxed afternoon at the Band Rotunda being entertained by two performers every sunny Sunday afternoon right through to and including Easter Sunday, 31 March.

Share your New Zealand music memories...
It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.
Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.
In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
