Hornby HSrebuild tostart in SeptemberBY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Hornby High School’s $20-$30 million rebuild will begin in September.
The programme is part of the $1.137 billion Greater Christ-church Education Renewal Plan which will see 115 schools remodelled, rebuilt or repaired by 2022.
The physical work to almost completely rebuild the school’s facilities will begin in September and there has been between $20-$30 million allocated for it.
It is part of the $138 million which will be spent on rebuilding Cashmere High School, Kaiapoi High School, Banks Avenue School and Linwood College.
Hornby High School’s merger with Branston Intermediate boosted its numbers with a cur-rent roll of 626 pupils from year 7 to 13.
Hornby High principal Richard
Edmundson said the planning stages would begin next month.
“This isn’t just a rebuild of the school the way it is, it is a rebuild in a way the school needs to be for educating the kids for tomor-row’s world.”
The rebuild will see all of the old school buildings demolished, with new ones built and the work would be staged so it was less disruptive for students.
The rebuild is expected to be complete by the end of 2017.
Classrooms that were built last year and new classrooms under construction currently will stay, but can be relocated to fit with the master plan, he said.
Unlike the other schools, the buildings at Hornby High were not damaged in the earthquakes.
Mr Edmundson said the re-build was to cater for the popular movement of Christchurch since the earthquakes.

FAMILY AFFAIR: Smiths City marketing manager Pete Dickie presents a Coleman portable barbecue prize to all seven members of the Dryden family from Halswell who made it onto the stage first to claim the prize.
IN HIS STRIDE: Alex Gorrie, of Riccarton, was the third person to finish the event.
REARING TO GO: Blair McCabe, Jeremy Beckingham in his sleeping bag and Jim Beckingham, all of Ilam, get ready for the 14km start at Centennial Park.
Residents from the Western News area formed part of the The Star City2Surf with Mike Pero Real Estate fun run last weekend. About 11,000 people crossed the finish line, each achieving a personal goal, Star Media general manager Steve McCaughan said. Both the 14km and 6km op-tions were popular, but the 6km route saw the most growth with many families choosing to give it a go. The course began at Centennial Park, fin-ishing at the Ferrymead Heritage Park. The first woman across the line was Rachel Kingsford, of Avonhead, who was presented a prize from event co-ordinator Monique Maynard (right).
Work has started on a 60-bed student accommodation block on Waimairi Rd.
The site which will be an extension of the Bishop Julius Hall of Residence at Canterbury University.
The new accommodation block will be finished in time for the first semester next year.
The new accommodation project comes a year after deputy prime minister Bill English opened the new 60-bed Wai-mairi student accommodation village.
The university was looking to ease pressure on the Christch-urch housing market by address-ing the urgent need for student accommodation over the last few years with the temporary Waim-airi Village and making available 70 beds at its Waitakiri Village.
College House is in the process of building a new kitchen, dining room and accommodation for 15 students. The project is due for completion in May.
Vice-chancellor Dr Rod Carr said the university has taken positive steps to help alleviate the Christchurch housing market.
“We are sensitive to the city’s housing situation and we see projects like the new Bishop Julius extension and the Waim-airi Village as exciting develop-ments for Christchurch, for the university and for students,’’ Dr Carr said.

▌▌ IN BRIEFDeja vu for new principalBY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Neil Haywood had his very first teaching placement at Riccarton High School, and now more than 20 years later he will take up the role of principal.
Currently serving as Shirley Boys’ High School associate prin-cipal, Mr Haywood will have his last day at the school on May 15 and take the reigns at Riccarton on May 18.
His first teaching position was at Shirley Boys’ in 1994 before moving on to Wanganui Colle-giate School, Fiordland College and Rangiora High School.
He then returned to Shirley Boys’ in 2009.
He said there would be some emotion involved in leaving the school, but his goal had always been to move into a principal role.
“I’ve reached the ultimate goal, I’m pretty stoked about it.”
The parochial Cantabrian has been teaching for 21 years and specialises in history, geography and French.
He has spent time teaching at both single sex and co-ed schools so the move would not be unfa-miliar.
“In some ways it will be difficult, there will be challenges but I’m up for it.”
He had already met a number of school staff, parents and pupils and thought it would be a smooth transition.
The priority would be to get
around the classrooms and famil-iarise himself with the school and the pupils, he said.
“I think it’s really important as the principal that you know what’s happening in the classrooms.”
In his current role he teaches history as well as being associ-ate principal, but with the move would come more administra-tive work and less teaching in the classroom, he said.
“It’s [teaching] an aspect of my job that I do love.”
He would look at settling in before thinking about making changes or deciding to spend more time in the classroom.

Alison, can you tell me a bit about yourself. Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Tauranga, and then I went to University of Otago. I’ve got a geography degree, it’s a fabulous qualification. Then I came to Christchurch, and lived here for about a year. My now husband, who I met at the university was working at the district council in Amberley. And then we moved from there back up to Whakatane and then on to Hamilton.
Where did you go to school?I went to school in Tauranga.What made you decide to move
to Christchurch?My husband is a town planner,
and there seemed to be a need. I had been working with the Blind Foundation already. I have a na-tional role so it worked very well for me to move from Hamilton to Christchurch and do my job from here.
My husband applied for a job here and he’s a really experienced planner, so this was an area where he was needed. He’s working with the city council.
You moved here after the earth-quakes. Were you worried about coming back?
No, actually, not at all. We were really excited about mov-
ing to Christchurch.Do you have any children? We have three children of our
own, and then I have two others who lived with us for quite a while when they were in their teenage years. I’ve got a daughter who is here in Christchurch as well, she’s working with Ngai Tahu. And then the boys are all in Australia. There’s one in Melbourne, one in Alice Springs and then for the two extra boys, one is in Melbourne, and one in the Gold Coast.
Recently you won the supporter award at the Blind Foundation’s annual STAR Awards in Auckland. How did that feel?
It was fantastic, it was absolutely great. It was wonderful to be rec-ognised for something you do just because you enjoy it.
How long have you been work-ing with the Blind Foundation?
I’ve been there now for 23 years.Why have you stayed?It’s a fabulous organisation to
work for, and it’s particularly in the area I work in, in terms of a nation-al manner – for me that’s a really satisfying area of work. We straddle both working with members of the community and those who actively choose us as somewhere to volun-teer with, and we get to work with clients as well. And the involvement of the volunteers means we’re able to do extra things. It’s the sort of stuff I feel makes a positive differ-ence in those people’s lives.
Is this a paid job or do you do volunteer work on top of that?
Passion for social justice and

volunteer work recognisedThe Blind Foundation national
manager of volunteer services role is a paid job.
So why did you choose the Blind Foundation?
I had been a social worker and I had also worked with people with intellectual disabilities. And so when I first started working here it was just a really nice fit. It really brought in a lot of the areas I had been working in previously. I have a real interest in social justice, and making sure people who have disabilities have the same rights as others in the community.
What different roles have you been in while working there?
I started off as a part-time local volunteer co-ordinator and the job has just grown over the years.
What does a normal day look like for you?
It has heaps of variety. A normal day can see me working with and talking with people right across the coun-try, as well as with staff and volunteers at the Christchurch office.
Do you have any standout experiences or stories from your time
working there?I think at the moment one of
the things is that I’ve been co-ordinating our two annual appeals here in Christchurch and that has been fantastic. It’s my fifth appeal. It’s a great way of meeting people. The appeals were, for a few years, organised out of Auckland. And then we decided things were settled
enough in Christchurch to bring it back to the city. We really felt there was a local need. For me it’s been a great way to get to know the city again, and to meet new people. It’s fantastic to have their involvement and good will. Just today I’ve been talking to the malls and supermar-kets, and the level of support from businesses across the city is truly overwhelming.
I understand you received a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the community in 2013. Was this to do with your work in the Blind Foundation?
No, this was for my work I had been involved with at Volunteer-ing Waikato, which is the local volunteer centre there. I’d been there for 21 years. I was also a member of the inaugural board, and had been the chairwoman of that for two separate terms. I have also been involved with Volunteering New Zealand and
was the chairwoman of that for eight years.
What do you like the most about being a volun-teer street collector?
I just like meeting people. It gives you the opportu-
nity to talk to people about the work we do and spread the
knowledge about it. I think the Blind Foundation is a really well-regarded charity in New Zealand.
What kind of reactions do you receive from people?
I’m just blown away by people’s generosity. Sometimes in some places where you think people may not always have that much to give, it’s amazing just how gener-ous people can be. It’s a great chance to talk to people about what we do. We know we have lots of people in the community who could use our services.
When you have spare time, what do you do?
I try to exercise as much as I can. At Christmas time we adopted a one-year-old springer spaniel. So a lot of our spare time is taken up by walks. I think this is a great way to see the city, I like spots like the Port Hills, and around the river, and going to the beaches. And I love getting to meet other dog owners as well.
What is one of your favourite spots in the city?
I really enjoy The Beach Bar in Sumner, and sitting out on the deck there on a lovely, calm night. Summer or winter, just as long as it’s calm, and I can sit and watch the sun go down over the mountains.
What are you looking forward to this year?
We bought a house in St Albans last year, and so I suppose this year is about really settling into the house. We have great neigh-bours so this year is going to be about getting to know them a bit better, and getting to know a bit more of the community.

A new pedestrian and cycle pathway on Sparks Rd will be completed by the end of June.
The tender documents for the project are set to go out within the week.
The project is part of a pedestrian safety scheme which will link the residential area to Halswell Rd.
The bi-directional shared path will run along the northern side of the road from the current Halswell Library to 469 Sparks Rd.
Delineator posts will be installed to separate the path from the road.
City council road corridor opera-tions manager Paul Burden said the tender documents for the project were set to go out with construction scheduled for completion by the end of June.
“The proposed works will improve pedestrian safety, especially for chil-dren going to Halswell School, as there is currently no footpath from the old library to the easement be-tween Sparks Rd and the residential area.”
He said shared paths were used all over the world in pedestrian and cycle infrastructure and expected it to work well.
“We are not envisioning any con-flicts between cyclists and pedes-trians for the shared pathway on Sparks Rd.”

Parents, take heart. That’s the message from Ivan Leary, of NumberWorks’nWords’ Cashmere centre. According to Ivan there are many ways parents can make learning enjoyable for their children, without resorting to bribery or force.
“Start by building a positive family culture toward learning,” says Ivan. “Show interest in school, take family visits to museums and, if you’re watching television together, use news, current events and documentaries to stimulate conversation.”
Research shows that reading for pleasure is a major predictor of success in school. So Ivan recommends that children read daily. “Designating a family reading time – 20-30 minutes a day with no TV – shows that the whole family values reading.”
The flip side of reading is writing. Email is fun because it generates responses, but a diary is a good alternative.
Maths can also be fun, and surprisingly easy to practise every day. Board games and card
games are obvious ways to engage children in mathematical thinking. But so are many everyday activities: counting items, adding up costs and working out change when you’re shopping; time-keeping in the car or on the bus; measuring and fractions when you’re baking.
Along with creating a great home environment for learning, these activities indicate how your children’s education is progressing. If they show weakness in any subject now is a good time to consider tuition, before problems take hold.
Ivan says that’s where NumberWorks’nWords, specialist maths tuition and English tuition, comes in. Centres offer one-to-one tuition to all school-aged students, with unique programs individualised for each student and his or her goals. And “so much fun it doesn’t feel like learning”.
For a free assessment and introductory lesson call NumberWorks’nWords on 33 22 033 (Cashmere) or Fraser at Burnside on 3587 917.

Growing from a two-surgery to a � ve-surgery practice over the three and a half decades, the dental centre’s upgrade has
seen the whole premises renovated and extended, including an additional surgery and a larger, more comfortable waiting room for patients.
It has also introduced a special new x-ray machine, an OPG machine, which gives dental surgeons the ability to take panoramic radiography.
“� is means patients don’t need to be referred out for these types of x-rays,” says dental surgeon Vivienne Levy. “With this machine, we can see the whole jaw, which helps us with wisdom teeth and other complicated extractions. It shows the presence or absence of unerupted teeth, and also helps us identify fractures and other general pathology of the jaws.”
� e professional team of � ve dental surgeons and two hygienists is experienced in all aspects of dental care and caters for
the whole family, from age two right up to senior citizens.
� ey understand that some people are nervous about visiting the dentist, and they can make the whole experience more pleasant by providing both oral sedation and nitrous (laughing gas). � ey have a special interest in child sedations for anxious young ones.
Prices are competitive and free dental care is provided for patients under 18 years.
For the onset of sudden, painful toothache, one of the dentists will see you as soon as possible. � ey try to make space available on the day for such emergencies. Severe pain, infection and swelling may indicate the need for a � lling, a root canal treatment or perhaps an extraction. All ACC work can be carried out at Halswell Dental as well.
For urgent care, pain or infection, a
Community Service Card can be accepted, with the total cost being $25 to $45. WINZ quotes are available and Halswell Dental also o� ers estimates and payment plans.
Cosmetic dentistry services are also available at Halswell Dental and include white � llings, porcelain veneers, crowns, tooth reshaping and bleaching.
Hours are Monday 9am to 7pm, Tuesday to � ursday 8am to 5pm, and Friday 8.30am to 4pm.

Burnside and Christchurch Boys’ high schools both lost their finals of the South Island water polo championships in Invercargill.
The Burnside girl’s side were defending champions and came up against St Hilda’s Collegiate School of Dunedin in the final.
This was the second year running the two sides had met in the final but this year the outcome was reversed.
St Hilda’s overcame Burnside winning 5-2. It was the first time the Dunedin school had won the tournament.
It was a first win in the boy’s tournament for James Harg-est College of Invercargill also as Christchurch Boys’ went down to them in a close final 4-3.
The game was all tied up af-ter the first quarter 0-0 before Boys’ High jumped out to a 2-1 lead at half time.
They could not hold on to their lead in the second half as the home town team rallied to take back the lead 3-2 head-ing into the final quarter.
Boys’ High could not get back in the match and even-tually went down 4-3.
Christchurch Girls’ finished seventh, St Margaret’s College eighth and Rangi Ruru ninth.

Call to address flooding concerns
GRASSROOTS SPORTBY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Flooding and drainage issues on some roads in Tem-pleton has been an ongoing concern for residents.
Raewyn Newnham of the Templeton Residents’ Asso-ciation presented a deputation to the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board recently about flooding caused by the lack of drainage on particular roads.
She addressed three key areas that had been problem-atic which included Kirk Rd, the corner of Waterloo and Kirk Rds and the corner of Runnymede Drive and Bailey St.
A lot of the drains in the area seemed to be clogged, so “water is sitting, but not going anywhere”.
The residents’ association suggested the drains needed cleaning out so they could function properly again.
It also suggested sloping grills could be installed on the hillside of the vehicle bridge on Kirk Rd to stop any rub-bish from going through to the drains.
The final suggestion was to replace the current type of guttering on the affected roads.
After just two hours of drizzle last week, Kirk Rd had become partially flooded on one side, which was con-cerning for when heavy rain arrives, she said.
“We’re going to start getting into winter soon and we are going to be in a wee bit of trouble.”
One of the most affected areas was outside the medical centre complex on Kirk Rd.
Kirk Road Pharmacy owner Philippa Collett said the poor condition of the road and drain had been an ongo-ing issue.
“It’s been an major issue and we’ve given up.”She said when it rained the whole curb flooded and she
would put road cones out to mark where the end of the bridge was for customer safety.
She had contacted the city council numerous times since before the earthquakes, to get the issue fixed but nothing has happened.
The chemist had a lot of elderly people visiting, and the flooding had caused it to lose customers, she said.
The community board members agreed there was a drainage and flooding issue in the area and something needed to be done about it.
The board resolved that the submission was received and it has been referred on to city council staff for a re-sponse on the flooding and drainage issues raised.

Tracey Shewan from Koru Healing in New Brighton specialises in acupuncture and treats a broad range of conditions.
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine where tiny needles are placed at particular points on the body to restore imbalances.
“� ese imbalances disrupt the � ow of qi (vital energy) through the meridians (energetic pathways running through our bodies). By restoring the balance, this stimulates the body’s ability to heal itself,” says Tracey.
As the cooler weather approaches, Tracey can help clients with immune support, bronchitis and asthma. Acupuncture is also e� ective for many other health conditions including chronic pain, migraines, digestion, skin conditions, immune disorders and women’s health issues.
“Tracey’s work with me has been
wonderful. She has helped me with calci� c tendonitis in my shoulder as well as lower back and neck issues, and my energy is clearer and stronger,” says client Penelope.
Tracey looks at the whole picture of her client’s health and at the root cause as well as the symptoms.
“Stress and emotional issues can play a huge part in how a person is feeling and these factors are considered in treatment.”
Tracey is also experienced in treating musculoskeletal conditions, such as back and neck pain, sciatica, tendonitis, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel and tennis elbow.
Acupuncture is also used at the Koru Healing clinic to help and support people with cancer to complement their conventional treatments and reduce the impact of the symptoms caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy or following surgery.
“Acupuncture can treat symptoms
associated with these cancer treatments such as nausea, fatigue, hot � ushes and pain, and also helps reduce stress and anxiety.”
Another option for treating depression and anxiety is Pascha therapy, which is also one of Tracey’s services at Koru Healing.
“Pascha therapy works by supporting a person to open up to and gain better
Acupuncture offers a natural and holistic choice for niggling health issues through to chronic pain. The treatment is not only subsidised by ACC as a way to
treat injuries, but is also supported by the World Health Organisation.
Acupuncture: A natural option
understanding of their feelings. � rough this process comes insight and clarity into what may be needed in order to heal and move forward in life, ultimately leading to a greater sense of self and a feeling of empowerment,” says Tracey.
“A� er receiving treatment from Tracey, I was amazed at how relaxed and calm I felt,” says client Laura, while Chris says, “I always experience relief from any symptoms and walk out feeling relaxed and energised.”
To make an appointment with Tracey at Koru Healing, phone 388 9785 or 021 0269 5523. � ere is also plenty of information about acupuncture, Pascha therapy and cancer support on Koru Healing’s website www.koruhealing.co.nz.

Sixteen weeks later and 15 kilograms lighter, her attitude to food has completely changed and she feels healthier and more positive. “� e
10-week course was immensely helpful; I found I was an emotional and habitual eater, especially of junk food. If I got stressed, I reached for something to eat. � e course helped me recognise this and gave me strategies to deal with it.”
� e programmes are run by NLP and self-hypnosis coach Rebecca Cragnolini, and some of the techniques that Jo learnt from her showed her how to break the eating
habits. Now, she says that she really enjoys good, healthy food much more and really appreciates what she eats. “Rebecca taught me to be a ‘mindful’ eater,” she explains, which has helped her to make realistic changes and new habits. Jo never feels she is on a diet, as she has in the past. Instead, she feels that she is living healthily yet still gets to enjoy treats and eat the foods she really loves.
Rebecca says that it is all about balance, and the techniques can be used to help with stress management, too. � e changes in Jo have been dramatic, and she says that
before she even began to lose weight, people noticed that she seemed more alive. For Rebecca, it shows how powerful a tool the mind really is.
Jo says that Rebecca’s sessions are interactive and enjoyable, but also respectful of the individuals who attend. “No one has to speak up if they don’t want to,” she says, “but it’s a really nice, supportive environment. It’s not about Rebecca giving us advice; it’s about � nding out what’s meaningful to you. And it’s great that she is always available to help with the techniques we are learning along the way.”
� e next 10-week course begins on April 23, 2015. To book your place, ring 021 163 8543, visit www.re-mind.net.nz, or email info@re-mind.net.nz. You can also visit them on Facebook.com/remind.net.nz.

BEFOREAFTER
Kaiya contacted us after finding she was on the hook for her ex-boyfriends debts, and wanted to know what she could do.
It turned out that Kaiya had agreed to be a guarantor for her then boyfriend when he bought a TV and laptop on credit.
Unfortunately, like many clients we see, Kaiya had not fully understood what being a guarantor meant. A common misconception is that being a guarantor is like giving someone a character reference, but it’s not; it’s actually agreeing to pay someone’s debt if they don’t or can’t pay it themselves.
Guaranteeing a loan or other credit contract makes you responsible for paying the debt if the borrower doesn’t pay it. Being a guar-antor is risky, so if you’ve been asked make sure you know what the risks and implications are.
One key thing to know is that if the borrower doesn’t pay back the loan the lender is not required to seek pay-ment from them first; they can just go directly to you
(the guarantor) and if neces-sary require you to sell any security that was included in the agreement.
Another key thing to be aware of is that many guar-antees are ‘unlimited’; this means that you are not just guaranteeing one particular loan, but also any future loans from the same lender.
If you are asked to be a guarantor for someone, ask yourself the following ques-tions:
• Why do they need a guarantor (do they have a poor credit history? Is it likely they will have prob-lems making the payments?)
• Would you be willing and able to back the loan
(plus debt recovery costs) if the borrower can’t or won’t?
• What would you list as security, and are you willing to risk having it repossessed if the money can’t be paid back?
A contract to become a guarantor must be in writ-ing and must be signed. Because of the risks involved in becoming a guarantor we recommend that you get independent legal advice before you sign any agree-ment.

FOOD
Easter a hop, skip and a jump awayFOR me, Easter is a long weekend of good food, fun, friends and fam-ily. For many people it follows Lent, a time of fasting.
So no wonder Easter Sunday is a day of feasting—everything from chocolate eggs and rabbits, to party food, roasted meats, decadent cakes and desserts.
Easter is the biggest holiday of the year in Greece.
And roast lamb or kid—depending on the re-gion—is the traditional Easter meat either cooked on a spit, or simply roasted or grilled. A roast leg of lamb is also popular with the French, many Ital-ians enjoy boiled or braised lamb and the English, a roasted lamb shoulder or leg served with new pota-toes and mint sauce. Americans however, choose to roast a ham rather than lamb for the holiday.
The New Zealand lamb ‘‘Glammies’’ are in full swing. More than 150 farm entries were narrowed down to 20 in the search for the nation’s most ten-der and tasty lamb. Another reason to enjoy lamb at Easter.
Eating eggs was once prohibited during Lent and their welcome return provided a reason to celebrate.
Originally people gave gifts of eggs carved from wood or precious stones. Intricately hand-painted hens eggs followed in later years, then eggs made from marzipan.
It wasn’t until the 1800s that the first chocolate eggs were made in Germany. Today there is an enormous assortment of chocolate eggs that can be used in garden treasure hunts.
And if, on the off chance, there are any leftovers, melt the eggs (the marshmallow-centred ones are best) and pour over poached pears, or chop them and add to your favourite sweet muffin recipe. Happy Easter.

For flavour. Some recipessuggest cooking untiltender but not brown,others go on until the

‘‘Whenharvested, theywere keptexclusively forthe Inca kings.
WHOwould havethought that thehumble spudwasonce regarded asboth a food and a
fashion accessory fit for royalty?Native to South America,potatoes were first cultivated bythe Incas about 200BC. The jewelin the crownwas the Peruvianpurple potato— royally purpleinside and out.When harvested,theywere kept exclusively forthe Inca kings.And in 18th-century France,
Marie Antoinette made aWorldofWearable Art-type fashionstatement by parading aroundthe countryside wearing potatoblossoms on her expensivedresses.Whenmost of us think of
packet ‘‘chips’’ we tend to thinkof fatty, salty occasional treats.But I was recently pleasantly
surprised to discover amoreishrange of proper chips— 100 percent natural, gluten-free, GMO-free and hand-cooked in high-oleic sunflower oil. Ned andMina Smith, the expatriateAmerican couple who run thefamily-style Proper Crispsoperation in Nelson, brandedtheir delights ‘‘crisps’’ todistinguish them frommass-produced ‘‘chips’’. And they are
different. I just love themcrushed and sprinkled overicecream. The rapport between
the salty tang of the chips andthe sweetness of the icecream isa taste treat.The potato is certainly
common and a staple worldwide.They are cheap, hardy and easyto grow, and are high in starch,protein and vitamins. They arealso versatile.We all love thetraditional potato favourites butthis week I’m serving upsomething funky— potatoeswith icecream, in chocolatetruffles, with squid and in agluten-free pastry.

Q A&Is there a difference betweenpawpaw and papaya?Not in this part of the world.But there is a tree in NorthAmerica related to custardapples that’s also calledpawpaw (never papaya).
Tropical pawpaws are bestkept out of the fridge; fullyripe specimens should feelsoft, smell sweet, and be atleast partly yellow. Oncecut, discard the small blackseeds and eat the fruitwithin a few hours. Notethat raw pawpaws (likekiwifruit and pineapples)contain an enzyme thatstops gelatinemixturesfrom setting.

Madsen Promotions presents...
Paul Madsen returns to the Hornby Workingmen’s Club next Friday (10th April) with a tribute show combining two legendary acts - The Eagles and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
“The show will open with The Eagles Show,” said Paul. “With the recent appearance of the real thing in Auckland early March, Madsen Promotions thought it a logical choice of show for fans in Christchurch who didn't make it to Auckland…an affordable alternative!”
Paul Madsen, runner up in ‘Stars in their Eyes’, is a respected singer/performer. He has been entertaining crowds nationally and internationally for over 25 years and is well known for fronting Madsen Promotions many tribute style shows.
“Eagles N.Z. is New Zealand’s own Eagles Show. A tribute to America’s most popular country rock band. Madsen Promotions brings this rendition of the real thing with sweeping melodic harmonies topped with raw edge guitar,” said Paul. “The show is hit after hit with songs such as Hotel California, Take It Easy, Peaceful Easy Feeling, New Kid in Town, etc.”
The Creedence Clearwater Revival Show is a new show for Madsen Promotions. According to Paul they chose this group because the up-tempo songs - such as Midnight Special, Bad Moon Rising, Down on the Corner, Proud Mary, etc - usually result in a packed out dance floor.
Tribute to the Eagles and Creedence Clearwater Revival | | Friday 10th April, 8.00pm | Tickets $20 at the club office, Carmen Rd,
