Music lovers can join in the celebrations for New Zealand Music month at Te Kōputu – the Whakatāne Library and Exhibition Centre – every Sunday this month.

The ‘Red Freds’ will be delivering Sunday Sound Bites, with live renditions of a wide variety of Kiwi music, each Sunday between 11.00am and midday, until the end of the month. This talented, local ensemble will perform in the Horizon Energy Library or (weather permitting) the Little Orchard Activity Room and Atrium, providing their own unique take on classic NZ tunes.

Entry is free and space is limited, so interested members of the public are advised to arrive early to secure a good viewing spot.

Library team members have also assembled their favourite New Zealand music CDs and will be providing soft background music in the Little Orchard spaces throughout the month. Call in and check-out the eclectic mix of tunes from yesteryear and today.
