NZ Music Month lights up Hastings with music trail and pop-up club
He said the Bay was always his favourite environment to play in, where his original music was encouraged, and he was looking forward to 'jamming' his songs on the trail.
Hastings Mayor Sandra Hazlehurst said the national celebration was a 'fantastic' opportunity to showcase some of the wide-ranging musical talent in Hawke's Bay, calling the event 'a Hastings edition of NZ Music Month'.
Rounding out the month's celebrations, Littlestone with Hastings District Council and Toitoi will be reimagining the laneway between the East Block bars and Toitoi on Friday, May 23, transforming the area into a pop-up, open-air club, featuring an all-local DJ lineup spinning everything from house and hip-hop to funk and disco.
Littlestone's Beth Elstone said the venue had been looking for a chance to dance in the laneways by the Opera House for a while, and NZ Music Month felt like 'the perfect excuse'.
