Nasha's first invitation to perform at this event, which also coincides with the OREWA SANTA PARADE attracting crowds from the RODNEY DISTRICT in the thousands.; about 15,000 strong this time around with food stalls, performances, a fireworks display; an amazing Festive Christmas celebration for the family. Thanks to DESTINATION OREWA (Hellen Wilkins) and MORE FM (DJ's - Brent and Lance) for giving us the opportunity and making us feel very welcome. The band did it's usual brand of Pop, Kiwi hits and Bollywood (as requested!!) and once again brought the audience into party mode with 3 encores at the end. From Tiny Tots, to teeny boppers and to 'rockers' in their chairs.....everyone encouraged the band and helped us ROCK!! It was super to play along with talented bands from the area - LEE GRAY & THE BEATS and a local college Jazz Band
