Paul King and Chris Power are multi-instrumentalists and singers of Celtic/ Folk Roots based music and songs. They came together in late 2018 having played together in a Celtic session to form a nucleus that gives them the ability to form and control their own unique sound and performance. The diversity of their backgrounds, from classical to traditional folk playing and song writing in Chris’s case to Paul’s punk rock and prog influences is fused by folk. Sets could include anything from traditional flute, tin whistle or guitar tunes from Chris with Paul accompanying on either Bodhran or bass to modern classics from the from the likes of Frank Turner or the Saw Doctors led by Paul’s versatile and extraordinary singing range. Or maybe some original tunes and songs, even some in Gaelic – depending on the Craic!
A community decision will see a traditional Anzac commemoration go ahead
this April 25 in Puhoi despite a police directive to postpone the
annual event and encourage people to travel to memorial ceremonies in
larger centres such as Warkworth, Wellsford and the Hibiscus Coast.
The
rationale for the directive is the lack of enough police force members
to patrol Anzac ceremonies in smaller centres in the face of possible
threats to public safety following the events of March 15, when 50
Muslim worshipers were gunned down and killed at two Christchurch
mosques. Puhoi people have, however, expressed a
wish to meet as has become traditional over the past few year at the
settlement’s war memorial gates at the entrance to the Puhoi Pioneers
Memorial Park. The familiar format – a
gathering at 9am (9.30am?) Reveille, Scouts, Fire Brigade members and
other uniformed groups, a talk by a resident war history enthusiast and
the laying of wreaths will be maintained, the major difference this year
being that the organisers of the event will be the local fire brigade,
not the Puhoi Heritage Museum Society, instituters and organisers of
previous commemorations. The society will abide by the police directive not to hold a commemoration in Puhoi this year. The
annual display of war memorabilia and literature, plus an Anzac
biscuits and refreshments gathering at the historic Puhoi Library will
not be affected by these changes to the traditional routine, except for
opening times – this year from 10am to 2pm. Instead
of the usual morning tea in the community hall following the parade,
the fire brigade will be hosting the refreshments following the
traditional ceremony. People can easily find parking or walk to the
centrally-located station. “The decision to go ahead with the gathering was a community one,” says deputy fire chief Mike Donovan. by Judith Williamscommunity news provider.

Revision of the current conditions has resulted in the decision to return to a
Restricted Fire Season [Fire permit required] for the entire Auckland Council area,
excluding the Islands of the Hauraki Gulf, as of Monday 18 March 2019 at 08:00am. The islands of the Hauraki Gulf will remain in a
