The Kowhai Singers Celebrate 40 Years
Our very first Concert was on 15th December 1984. It was held in the Methodist Centre Warkworth. John Cavander was the compere, Moira Atkinson the accompanist, and Basil Kirker the Conductor. Proceeds from this concert were in aid of Save the Children Fund - Warkworth Support Group. Four decades on and we should celebrate all we have achieved in that time.
