mundi perform in Putaruru

junction — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:12:48 +0000

The Plaza Theatre, Putaruru was alive to the world jazz sound of mundi recently. We were treated to that most special of musical expressions – live jazz. But the freshness with mundi is the expansive tone colour their choice and variety of instruments brings.

We were pleased to have the group use our Hometel accommodation while they were here in Putaruru.

Web Hosting, Design and Marketing

This aspect of @JUNCTION is attracting a lot of interest. The rules of website design have changed markedly over the last couple of years. Clients now want the ability to be able to make changes when they want them – anywhere, anytime. That’s where we come in with our knowledge of the new web rules!

NZ Music Month

Putaruru was so fortunate to be able to host Wayne Mason and the Fallen Angels for a refreshing mid-May evening of pure musical entertainment.

The Plaza Theatre audience were treated to crisp, clear and warming treatments from the New Zealand musical treasures box, as well as current compositions by Wayne.

Wayne, Clinton Brown on bass, Ross Burge on drums (and special guest Wayne’s brother Paul from Putaruru) have links to vintage groups such as The Fourmyula, the Mutton Birds, Rockinghorse and The Warratahs.

From their concert, here is the classic Nature, which Wayne wrote when he was 19. It was named the top New Zealand song of the last 75 years at the Silver Scroll Awards in 2001. Special thanks for allowing us to film at your Putaruru concert.

Ask to listen to Nature when you stay with us at @JUNCTION and also check out his CD Between Frames.

There is also another connection between Wayne and @JUNCTION. Between Frames was recorded in Taranaki at the studio of artists Roger Morris and Marianne Muggeridge. We have several of Rogers works on display here and we’re only too pleased to share these with you.

Autumn Update

At Christmas, Raewyn and my family updated my 1o year old cell phone to an iPhone. From time to time there will be some iPhone on the spot clips posted, and for starters – the First Dance from a recent wedding.

Summer Months

We’ve been busy during the summer fine tuning our gardens. Prospective Brides, (and Grooms) can choose from a number of ceremony settings to be found @JUNCTION.

There are a number of ways a bride can make here important entry, depending on the garden area selected for the ceremony.

A not so obvious task we have carried out during summer has been the sorting of our garaging area under the house… we actually can access a number of our ‘previous life’ possessions!

Digital Reading

Another of our interests is the researching, planning and creation of selected educational resources.

Digital Reading is one such resource, but instead of writing about it, take the overview we created in this short video.

@ JUNCTION was pleased to undertake a free filming of the Putaruru Theatre Players and Pride in Putaruru’s outstanding production of The Greatest Show on Earth – a Christmas Nativity, based in a Big Top Carnival.
