Sounds of Summer 2019
Hi there Neighbourly folks! Manawatū People’s Radio is delighted to announce the return of Sounds of Summer for 2019, and we’re touring the region, proudly celebrating creativity and community in Manawatū.
We’re kicking off with a concert between 2 and 5pm on Sunday the 10th of February beside the Feilding Library, with local musicians Soren Olson, Wandrella, Ben & the Believers and Andy Anderson & Trip Splat.
Also, local artists Joe McMenamin and Mike Marsh will be creating some visual art on the day, ready for the exhibition at Joe’s Gallary on 10th of March. Bring a picnic and remember to Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap.
