On 23rd August, a group of young musicians from the Coromandel hit the road to play to a sold-out audience at the Clarence St Theatre in Kirikiriroa Hamilton, for the “Amplify Aotearoa – Take it to a Bridge” concert.
pening night of the second independent tour of Walking Songs is in Te Aro, Wellington.
Amplify Aotearoa is an intergenerational music project bringing rangatahi (young people) together with some of New Zealand’s most respected artists in professional studios and live performance settings.
We’re expected in Pōneke (Wellington) by 9 pm. Chilli and I always enjoy driving down the motu (island). She’s perched, attentive, blanket arranged to perfection, on the passenger bench, hours before I‘m finished packing the car.
