This year’s Titirangi Festival of Music will take place on the weekend before Easter, April 3 and 4, and will feature lots of family-friendly events as well as a great concert programme. Early bird tickets will go on sale from Monday, February 3. Renowned singer Hollie Smith features in concert on Friday, April 3. Hollie is a prolific, hard-working performer who has always maintained a respected reputation of creating music with the utmost integrity and passion. Her incredible live performances and powerhouse vocals have made her one of the most sought after acts in New Zealand music. Hollie has performed with, among others, Don McGlashan, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Fly My Pretties and Trinity Roots. Hollie will be supported by local up-and-comer Arjuna Oakes with his four-piece band. They’ll be flying up from Wellington where Arjuna is based these days to perform songs from his recently released EP The Watcher. Arjuna himself is someone to watch out for, with over 50,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and fans all around the world. There are two concerts in the War Memorial hall on Saturday, April 4. Anika Moa brings her Songs for Bubbas for a special afternoon children’s show. To quote Anika: “It’s where witches eat tamariki, monsters hide in cupboards and spook ya and things go from slow to wild in the blink of an eye. Te reo Māori waiata will teach child and parent! It's too good to be true, folks! Nau mai, haere mai to the amazing, crazy show!”. Specially priced tickets apply. On Saturday evening TFM presents ‘Jungle Boogie’ a night of dance music featuring sets by Frank Booker, who has quietly built a worldwide reputation for incredible edits and DJ sets, multi-talented vocalist and DJ Sandy Mill, and music collective Flamingo Pier – responsible for some of the finest dance parties in East London and New Zealand. The night will be headlined by Lord Echo (joined by Lisa Tomlins on vocals). Lord Echo is a multi-instrumentalist producer, engineer and DJ whose music imagines a world where reggae and rocksteady rub shoulders with Latin music, disco, African soul and techno. His production aesthetic keeps a firm grasp on the DJs’ need for quality sound material but never strays far from the ever popular sounds of the ’60s and ’70s, which he has put half a lifetime into absorbing. The night will also feature visual projections, themed décor and a special ‘Jungle Boogie’ cocktail being created for the night. So book a night on the dance floor with us! Tickets for these concerts will go on sale on Monday, February 3. Be be in quick as they will go very fast. For bookings and more information, visit www.titirangifestival.co.nz .
