Dance for free at Uxbridge in Howick this Saturday
Calling East Aucklanders who dig a dance – there’s a free concert by Little Earle and Friends (Count Bassy and Drummer Darryn) at Howick’s Uxbridge Arts & Culture this Saturday, February 25, from midday to 2pm.
Little Earle says their set has “groovy hits and tasty obscurities” by American rhythm n’ blues and soul music artists such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Sam Cooke, James Brown, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker and Howlin’ Wolf.
“The Uxbridge Arts & Culture concert is one of a series of gigs in community centres Auckland-wide, designed for dancers of all ages,” he says.
“Thanks to the pandemic, many kids have never seen live music, and it’s not easy for older folks to make it to late-night concerts in inner-city venues.
“In response, these concerts, proudly supported by Manatu Taonga, the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, are accessible, easy-going and best of all free to the public.”
Right on, Brother, Little Earle. Cats will be swingin’ – PJ
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
