Harmony Waikato Spectacular

Richard from Cambridge

Thrill to the amazing sound of three of New Zealand's leading choruses plus our top quartets, all singing in four-part harmony. The rich male voices of Mighty River Harmony, the sparkle of the mixed youth chorus Manu Manu Mātātahi , and the dazzle of the Waikato Rivertones Women's chorus - each has won medals in competitions. As well, gold medal men's and women's quartets, including national winners The Usual Suspects and Unlimited, will entertain along with superb new mixed quartets.

Late in September they compete again in the Barbershop Harmony NZ Convention in Wellington. This is their chance to entertain you with their competition songs in preparation for the contest.

"I was blown away - I didn't know we had such talent in the Waikato" is a typical comment from audience members after previous shows. Don't miss this one!

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
