Sunday 31st October @ The Copthorne...


Rawiri, Diane, Tipene, Marcel Candy,  Ben,Chris combining talents!
Fantastic weather, fantastic venue, fantastic music! Once more it was a real treat for all those whom attended, participated or just enjoyed the various local  musicians who contributed to an awesome jazz session.  The inclusive atmosphere allowed for an exciting blend of jazz styles. Too many performers to name individually, but all deserved the applause they received!
Thanks to all who came along to support our very own regular jazz club. We know that there were others unable to make it on the day, but you were with us in spirit!           Hope to see you next time!

A tribute...

... respected Hokianga jazz musician Colin Morman sadly passed away recently.

A beautiful service for Colin was held at Opononi Hall,  Monday 26th October 2010 with special memories shared and thanks to all whom so willingly gave their time, music, food to celebrate his life.
Our heartfelt condolences to Gloria and the Morman family and friends.
We shall all miss him dearly. A fine father, husband, friend and musician...may his song play on.......
