Trio Jackson concert : school fundraiser

Vanessa from St Heliers

Hey everyone - we're doing a fundraiser for our school. Please join us on 12 March. Why?
1. Have you heard of kiwis supporting local tourism? Tourism get's more media attention than musicians, but our local musicians have been hit by covid too. By coming, you'll be supporting some amazing local musicians of international quality. They can't travel overseas right now - so the world's loss is our gain.
2. It supports the school.
Our son's school does a lot of extra-curricular camps where kids learn about the natural environment and do real-life confidence-building. All profits go to their extra-curricular camps.
3. We're really lucky we can actually go to live events like this. Grab the chance!!!
4. Most importantly, the music is incredible and you'll have a great time with friends and family.
Trio Jackson plays music that is live, moving, warm, emotive, and engaging. People who see them play frequently use words such as "mesmerizing" and "spellbound" to describe their performances.
Literally, they use a combination of guitar and violin to travel through an elaborate array of Spanish, gypsy, jazz and original music - but really, hearing them is like hearing what love sounds like, as expressed through stringed musical instruments.
"OK - enough, I'm coming, when is it?"
* 7.30pm Friday 12 March.
Just say "i'm in" below and I'll arrange the rest.
See you there !!

Hello from Ocean Bali Spa

Yana from Ocean Bali Spa

Hello everyone, my name is Yana I’m originally from Bali. I’ve been living and working in the area for 7+ years now. I was known as Tiwi and I was a professional massage therapist/ beautician working in one of the finest establishments in St Heliers.
Now I have Ocean Bali Spa at 287E St Heliers Bay Road and have been enjoying being part of this vibrant and supportive local community. It has been so rewarding to meet and help so many people with their aches and pains or just enabling them to enjoy a relaxing massage or rejuvenating facial.
