Local Big Band hits home run with concert

Thursday night saw the Basin City Big Band perform to a full house at Forum North, Whangarei's 340 seat theatre. The big band backed Barbie Davidson who charmed and entertained an appreciative audience. Special Guests from the Rock and Roll Dance Club and Swing Dance Company B provided plenty of visual appeal and variety including some very cute four year old dancers. Leshego, John and Monica from Pompellier Catholic College provided guest vocal spots - well done you three! The role of MC was ably filled by Luka Grbavac - many thanks Luka. The band hit on a winning formula for this concert, proving there is a sizeable and appreciative audience for their music in Northland. Watch out for more events like this in 2014.
