Midday Concert Series Starts Friday 3rd
Welcome back everyone!
This year's concerts begin Friday 3 March with SUE BROWN
& THE MARSHALLS and John Curtis on bass guitar.
With her soulful voice Sue Brown has been in the music scene in Taupō for many years. Recently she performed at Taranaki Jazz Club and featured as a guest at Art Deco Events 2022.
Her first performance for the Midday Concert Series was in 2021.
This year she will be supported by The Marshalls (Peter on tenor sax & Chev Fraser on keyboard), a Taupō combo known for their standards, but with Sue's smooth vocals, any catchy tune or haunting melody is possible. John Curtis will assist the trio on bass guitar guaranteeing a great job.
$5 cash entry. Hope to see you there.

The Friends of Hamilton Gardens are the heart and soul, and the hands-on realisation, of the community's support for this incredible place. They play a pivotal role fostering awareness and engagement, activating spaces, and securing funding for ongoing developments.
Each year the Friends host a range of events in the Gardens, including Matariki celebrations, a Scarecrow Festival, the Mansfield Garden Party, a Medieval Fair, plant sales, guest lectures and social gatherings.
Their fundraising efforts have supported most of the current Gardens, plus now the upcoming Medieval, Baroque and Pasifika Gardens, and they've backed school education kits and the publication of Peter Sergel’s book The Time Traveller’s Guide to Hamilton Gardens.
