Dear all,
April starts tomorrow with the Little Day Out here at the Mt Eden Village Centre. Don’t miss it!
We also have the Repair Cafe this Sunday 2 April from 3.00pm to 6.00pm as part of the Albert-Eden & Puketāpapa Eco Festival. With a multitude of sewing experts, electricians, computer technicians, woodwork specialists and general handy folk, they are ready to restore your treasured items back to full use. The Cafe is organised by the Chinese Conservation Education Trust to reduce landfill waste. Items need to be light enough to carry in your hands and the Trust asks that you arrive by 5.30pm as the Cafe closes promptly at 6.00pm.
Join Eden Arts on Monday 3 April at 7.30pm for a Chamber Music in Mt Eden Concert. It is a delightful opportunity to hear some of New Zealands finest musicians perform Mozart and Brahms in the heart of Mt Eden. The Concert features Jessica Oddie, Simeon Broom, Alex McFarlane, Monique Lapins, Matthias Balzat and Ken Ichinose playing Mozart String Quintet No.1 in B-flat Major and Brahms String Sextet No. 2 in G Major Op.36. Tickets available by email or door sale.

Village Music is especially proud to bring Jackie Bristow from Nashville to our old Mt Eden Hall on Friday 14 April at 8.00pm. Jackie has an impressive catalogue of enduring songs and recordings, and her songcraft and compelling live performances have seen her share the bill and a personal connection with many of the world’s musical elite, including Bonnie Raitt, Boz Skaggs, Chris Isaak, Tommy Emmanuel, Steve Miller Band, Foreigner, Art Garfunkel, Phoebe Snow and John Waite. As always, bring friends, bring family, bring your ears and BYO. Tickets and more information is available here.
Tomorrow Saturday 1 April our popular Little Day Out event is back from 10.00am to 1.00pm with JP magic, pony rides, Nanogirl science, Junky Monkey play, live music, weird and wonderful animals, bake sale, book swap, crafts and more.
