Lyttelton Winter Festival of Lights

Thank you so much to our helpers who made it happen, with the radio station putting on 5 festival events it certainly made for a busy & exciting week!

A big 'thank you' also to James & Stephen and the fantastic folk at the Lyttelton Coffee Company for the Music Quiz venue, Nick & Sarah at Freemans Restaurant, Digger & Debs at Monster Yakitori and Oscar at El Santo Porteno Bar for the bar tab prizes. Helen Taylor, Rebecca Lee and The Lyttelton Coffee Company and Monster Bar kindly donated artworks sold at a very successful art auction. Ray Blake from Mactodd Lawyers performed admirally at the hospitality end and cheers to Min Sarginson Real Estate & MacTodd for the printing, and of course J.Sinclair, a masterful quiz master if ever there was one!  Looking forward to the next one...congrats to 'Comfortably Numb' who edged out fierce competion to come out slightly ahead at the end, but music really was the winner on the night.A great night all around...thanks to ya'll for coming to a fun & entertaining evening.

CHARTFEST

It all went wonderfully, thank you! Listen out to hear some of the many interviews we had with bands, and stings that you guys recorded!
