Lyrica Production Coming to The Plaza.


LYRICA PRODUCTION PRESENTS - The BIG Little Town Tour

Warm up your winter with New Zealands premiere pop-opera group LYRICA, as they say goodbye to the big city and take their vibrant and uplifting show on the road.

With their BIG spine-tingling sound and exquisite costuming, LYRICA will thrill you with their beautiful and unique interpretations of powerful classics from the legendary Moody Blues, Led Zeppelin, and Leonard Cohen (just to name a few), and will wow you with new classics including their stunning NZ song 'THE CALLING' (performed at the opening of the 2010 World Rowing Championships) as well as the awesome 300 year old haka TARAKIHI.

Be prepared to fall in love with the drama of the 'Moonlight Sonata', delight in the passion that is 'O Sole Mio' and bask in the warmth of a Tuscan summer as LYRICA takes you on a journey in song through sun kissed Italy with favourites such as 'That’s Amore', 'Volare' and 'Mambo Italiano'.

By the end of the night you may find yourself wanting to dance in the aisles as LYRICA teams up with top trumpeter Bill Stoneham and transports you back to the swinging dance halls of 1940s wartime USA. With sassy numbers like 'In the Mood' and 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy' and glamorous 1940s inspired costumes your toes will surely be tapping and your fingers will be snapping long after the curtain falls on the fun and passion that is LYRICA

Pride in Putaruru - new manager

Greetings, I'm Lee Robertson and I have just been appointed as the new manager for Pride in Putaruru as of 28th May.  After just two weeks in the job about all I am managing is to just keep my head above water! From a background in aviation for eighteen years and then twenty-two years in church ministry this new position is a steep learning curve - thank goodness I have a great instructor in Bex, who incidentally is staying on to help me float and to do the Prattler.  At the end of the month we move into our new premises at 2 Overdale Street - roll on the day!  I look forward to serving Putaruru and meeting all you good folk out there.
