THE SHADZ

Athletic support band* (will play for pinot, plum-pud and pavlova)

 

*No, not 'Jock Strapp & the Elastic Band' (or 'The Crickets' ;-)

 
OK, to be strictly calendar-correct it was a "Mid-Winter Boxing Day" (July 26, right?) but, otherwise, last Friday night's fundraiser event at Te Pai Netball Centre in Henderson had all the requisite Christmas trimmings - fabulous food, festive fun and even some high-value 'prezzies' (for the lucky raffle winners). 

And, of course, it was freezing - outside.

The Shadz were privileged to strut our stuff and contribute to the merry-making of a great evening, organised to help fund travel costs for Netball Waitakere rep. teams. We also enjoyed backing guest artist Gerard Smith (host/producer of "The Beat Goes On" weekly TV magazine show for Baby Boomers and lead singer for legendary band, The Rumour).

Noting that July 26, 2013 was Mick Jagger's 70th Birthday, Gerard packed the dance floor with a rip-roaring extended rendition of "Satisfaction" - a word that pretty much summed up the night.
