The 75-year-old, who is legally blind in one eye and has cataracts in the other, can no longer read music due to her poor vision, so she plays all her music by ear.
There was a time Sampson, a retired teacher, believed she would have to give up playing music altogether due to her eyesight, but she said she found her fingers remembered songs she thought she’d forgotten.
When Sampson discovered there was a free piano for the public to play at Britomart Station she began making weekly trips there to play and raise funds for St John in Silverdale, where she lives.

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind. We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.
Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.
Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed.

We’d like to thank our many customers for all your support over these past years (almost 10 years!). Without you Chillibean wouldn’t have become the great NZ Made entity it is. 🥰🫶
What began as a hobby quickly became a fully fledged NZ business and whilst it’s been fun and thoroughly satisfying, it’s now time to think about spending more time with family and pottering in the garden. 🌺
We’ll be around for awhile yet online and at markets until our current stocks sell out. Then … we’ll be selling off all our remaining fabric stocks, so if you’re after some truly epic quality fabrics keep an eye 👀 on our website chillibean.co.nz. Within the next couple of weeks we hope to have uploaded all our fabrics for purchase online and at markets.
Chillbean Upcyclist recycled inner tube bags will continue for the foreseeable future in a limited capacity.
Sadly cancelled due to forecasted high winds and heavy rains.
See you all in September!!

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them."
Happy Anzac Day!
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
From the poem 'For the fallen' by Laurence Binyon
