Day 4's blog for the Tauranga Arts Fest has taken a bit more time to post than expected due to last night's rugby winning celebrations. Thank goodness for 3am cheeseburgers and blue Powerade.
I made it just in time to Tama Waipara's concert.
Outfit: inherited All Blacks jersey and skirt.
Shoes: candy-striped peep toes
As I walked in and sat down, I received two separate comments on the amazingness of my shoes. Shoe envy is one of the highest forms of flattery.
Tama and his band opened with a song that gave me goosebumps all over. A beautiful number that had been composed by the late Hirini Melbourne. In hindsight, I should've bought my nan. She would appreciate the contemporary Sir Howardness, the cheeky humour throughout the set and the fact that he slightly resembled a trimmer version of my cousin.
I floated down the gentle stream to his melodies... just laxing. Tama was modestly skilled and had rising talent accompanying him. Particularly Andrea Groneveld whose passion came alive through each strum and note.
The concert was definitely the best pre-match entertainment I had witnessed and the audience would agree. If you are ever fortunate enough to have the opportunity to go to one of Tama's concerts, I'd say buy a ticket.
