Tawa’s Concert in the Park is back for a second season. After a very successful concert in 2023, despite the dismal weather, Tawa Rotary will again be staging a free, family-friendly, outdoor concert at Grasslees Reserve mid-February.

The concert will be headlined by the Royal New Zealand Airforce’s extremely popular Jive Bombers dance band. This team of go-getters will serve up a platter of musical gems ranging from Amy Winehouse and Guns ‘n’ Roses to Earth Wind and Fire and Bruno Mars. This will be a great opportunity to hear some of Wellington’s finest musicians playing tunes you’ve definitely heard before with equal parts pizazz and decorum.

Supporting acts will include Tawa College’s Blue Notes chamber choir. In its 10 years, it has qualified for the Big Sing National Finale nine times and received a Gold award three of those times, cementing its place as one of the top secondary school choirs in the country.

Concert-goers will also be welcomed by the Tawa Learners’ Band. The band is made up of players of brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. Some of members are learners, some have returned to music, some have retired from more formal bands and others like the relaxed atmosphere of playing music after a long week at work.

Concert co-ordinator, Elizabeth Sutton, says concert-goers are welcome to bring rugs or chairs and a picnic afternoon tea or they can buy a sausage or two from the sausage sizzle.

The concert will run for three hours from 3pm on Sunday 18 February, Grasslees Reserve, Tawa.

Cara Talbot has nominated her neighbours, James and Amy Bolton of Forrest Hill (featured below), as a Neighbourly Nice Neighbour. Cara shares:

"I’m a single working mum and life is a juggle! However James and Amy are always offering to help when needed. They are just the type of couple that don't wait to be asked for help. Amy is forever helping to look after my dog when I’m at work or helping to get my kids to after school activities. James will come over and help me put up the kids temporary pool, do my lawn edges or take runs to the tip when I’m having a clear out. Always with a smile when I know they are busy parents themselves.

In addition to the many times they've helped me out personally, in the recent flooding in the Forrest Hill area, it was Amy that rang around her network and rallied a number of our families (and kids) to come and help affected neighbours to clear out their flooded homes and generally clean up once the waters had died down. I know she helped man a support area in the local community down in Milford shopping centre which provides support and goods to families hit hard. She's also the Chair of the Forrest Hill Primary School - she's just an all-around good sort who is very community-minded. James works for the Police and I know he's been up to the local school more than once to help educate our kids about what the police do and how to stay safe.

James and Amy are very humble, but I do really think they are some of the great unsung heroes that make our north shore community so special. I feel very blessed they are part of my adopted whānau!"
