An Uplifting and Wonderful Concert
by Maureen Heffernan on 29/06/2025Christchurch Town Hall - ChristchurchRating: 5 out of 5Friday's nights concert was a totally immersive experience of musical talent and aroha. All the performers were massively committed to their crafts and gave 110%. The feeling in the Town Hall was one of unity and togetherness. The audience was totally with the performers. It was a joy to be at a concert almost entirely in Te Reo, whether we knew the meanings of the songs or not. The overall spirit of the music triumphed. Marlon Williams is like a minstrel of old, telling stories and weaving magic. It was amazing when the audience joined in singing to Purea Nei. In the midst of wars and divisions and politicians trying to sow the seeds of discontent, this was an uplifting and positive concert.
