ur popular Live & Local featuring local performers continues..
April’s Live & Local presents another great mix of Raglan acts, this time with music and stories from Brian Wilson, Freddy Limbert and Ngaronoa Renata.
.
Ngaronoa Renata brings another Medicine For The People set. These are always something special and feature different accompanists each time. A combination of pūrakau & oro (story-telling and sound), she will be sharing pūrakau and poetry accompanied with taonga pūoro and waiata.
.
Brian Wilson is making his first solo Live & Local appearance, having performed several times with ukulele group The Ragtimers and accompanied other acts with guitar and ukulele. Self-described as an aging hippy, Brian says he’ll be playing “An eclectic range of songs, some you may have heard before, but you still may not recognise them!”.
Over the past 40 years you may have seen Fredmo (Freddy Limbert) behind the drums or perhaps on double bass (yes, he did start very young indeed, as long-time locals can attest). Having performed with numerous artists and bands, including on international tours, Freddy has accumulated a unique approach to music. For Live & Local Freddy says he will be “Plucking some stringed instruments and singing some songs from his travels”.If you’re interested in performing at one of these shows, contact penni@raglanartscentre.co.nz
Live & Local presented by Raglan Old School Arts Centre is made possible with the support of Waikato District Creative Communities, Raglan Light & Sound and Mark Frost (Bayleys Real Estate)

April 24, 2024
A Whaingaroa Writers world event. An Inside View: Major (Retired) Lindsay Amner spent a total of 34 years serving in both the New Zealand and Australian armies. He served ten years as a soldier in the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment, ending as a sergeant, before completing a Masters degree in Strategic Studies and being commissioned as an Education Officer in the Royal New Zealand Army Education Corps. Having filled every role available to a New Zealand education officer, including Curator of the National Army Museum, the Senior Army Education Advisor and the Army Historian, Lindsay transferred to the Australian Army and spent ten years in various education roles, ending as the editor of the Australian Army Journal. Lindsay retired in 2018 and enjoys the life of a country gent with his wife, Ninette, on their riverside property in Whatawhata.
Lindsay owns one of the best collections of the New Zealand Official War Histories and will talk about how this unique series of books came to be. Many of these books are extremely rare today, some with print runs of only 500 copies. Lindsay will bring a number of the more interesting books and use them to illustrate his discussion of the landings and some of the more significant battles of the Gallipoli campaign on the night before Anzac Day.
Koha entry.
