Children happily bounced on a gigantic castle, rode in Flick the little fire truck, had their nails and faces painted, their hair braided and watched Magician Jonathan Usher.

Last night I was in attendance at one of the most enjoyable gigs I've seen in quite a while.

Kelvin Cummings (Dunedin musician recently seen on Stars In Their Eyes) will be singing in the upcoming Telethon for the chance to finish the show.

Feet tapping, hands clapping, children happy and running round, singing and all sorts of musical instruments were on at a free concert that was offered to our community recently.

There will be a free performance of folk music from Latin America this Friday, 5 December, 6.30pm at Waitati Hall.

Dunedin band Native keeps busy, with gigs at pubs, festivals and corporate functions honing its highly unusual sound.
