Titirangi Festival of Music: Postponed

The TFM team have reluctantly decided to postpone the 2020 event due to the rapidly changing situation with regard to Covid-19. This has been a difficult decision to make, but the health and safety of our festival community and our performers is our highest priority, and as such we feel that it would be irresponsible to go ahead as planned.

We are currently in the process of re-scheduling this year’s festival to some time in September with the least amount of disruption to the programme as possible.

We will be paying close attention to the developing situation. All tickets will remain valid and once new dates are in place there will be an opportunity for refunds if required.

The Titirangi Festival of Music is a community-focussed event, offering a space where we can all celebrate and enjoy the arts and our local community together. We are really proud to run this event each year and take the responsibility of running a safe and inclusive event seriously. Thanks again to all our Sponsors, Funders and Volunteers, and also to everyone who has supported the festival this year already by purchasing tickets.

Thank you for your understanding and our apologies for any inconvenience.

Love and stay safe, The Titirangi Festival of Music team

Hollie Smith (top), Anika Moa and Mango Beach will all be back to perform in the re-scheduled TFM 2020. Look out for more information in future issues of The Fringe.

This issue of The Fringe was severely affected by reactions to the coronavirus: the impact on global travel and tourism, together with the cancellation of two major events right on our advertising booking deadline meant that we lost a lot of revenue. However, we know we’re not the only ones affected by this global pandemic and, as we are committed to supporting our local community any way we can, we want to help ... Have you or your business been adversely affected by Covid-19? How can our community help you? Let The Fringe know and we’ll do our best to spread the word ... And if you have services or offers that could help in these trying times, let us know. Let’s work together to overcome this pandemic’s challenges.

Titirangi local and mother of two, Kerry Engelbrecht chats to us

about her new business Kerry E Media.

Who are you? I’m an experienced and skilled editor, photographer, writer and designer, an optimist and a perfectionist.

What services do you offer? Photography (www.kerryephotography.com) - pet portraits, weddings, family memories, pregnancy and newborn photography, birthday parties, corporate portraits, workplace shots, events and personalised gift vouchers for photoshoots. Design - business cards, invitations, handouts for weddings and other events, signs, brochures, booklets, adverts, logos, cards, collages, photo books, canvas prints and digital media banners. Proof-reading and editing - books, theses, CVs, marketing material, newspaper articles and adverts, blog posts and web content. Writing - magazine features, newspaper articles, marketing material, web content and blog posts.

“Well-written copy with no errors, stand-out photography and beautiful, clean design builds confidence in your brand.”

How much do your services cost? All pricing takes individuals and small businesses into consideration. I offer a one-on-one personalised design service at competitive rates. Wedding photography packages are per hour so you can prioritise according to your budget. Editing/writing work ranges from per page rates for small jobs to per word rates for larger jobs.

What is your involvement in the community? I live and work in Titirangi, and my children attend local schools. I support a range of charities close to my heart: photos for Maddi’s Market, design of a Starlit Hope booklet for newly diagnosed oncology kids’ families and I gift photoshoots to families living through the horror of childhood cancer.
