It took almost 2 years to bring this gig around, since our previous Country Music endeavour in 2018! Lots of requests from the Community to do an Encore performance. Not easy! Finding the musicians and their availability, getting a decent venue, etc etc...but we made it! And thanks to all the support, it was amazing!! We also had the wonderful Cooper's Run, Country Music Stalwarts, from Matamata, drive down to join us, the upcoming Country Star, Keith Pereira, our very own NASHA superstars, Leon Ruwhiu and Raul Cardoza and guest singers - Cindy, Lygia, Geena and Mike. Also on stage and adding their outstanding skills - Neil Watson (Pedal Steel), Ben Fernandez (Piano) and Karl Pereira (Bass)...we could do this again and again...was so much fun!
