Brass meets Swing
After a sellout concert last year Rangiora Brass and Sideline Swing have teamed up again to present "Brass meets Swing". The bands will again entertain with a mix of traditional, jazz and swing. Music from the Ritz of the 20s, the big band era right through to the present. The Musical Directors of Rangiora Brass and Sideline Swing, Dwayne Bloomfield and Butch Greene have a wealth of musical knowledge, both having served in the New Zealand Army Band. They promise to have you entertained throughout the afternoon. This will be a concert for all age groups. The bands want to showcase what is available in North Canterbury and boost interest in joining up to either play or learn and instrument.
The concert will be on Saturday 18th April at 2pm in the Rangiora Town Hall Auditorium. Tickets are only $12 and available at the Rangiora Town Hall or online at www.townhallcinemas.co.nz... Enquiries to Steve on 027 6563737

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
