Our secretary is Chris Morey and our Treasurer is Chrissie Williams.
We will accept applications for funding at any time and will give them consideration in a timely manner. You will need to study our criteria before applying for funds, and you may need help with your application, in which case it is best to contact any of our members.

Fiona Pears & Band

Her performances will feature music from her latest CD ‘Fire and Light’ and will be a fiery melting pot of flavours: Latin, Jazz, and Classical, as well as some sizzling traditional Gypsy favourites.
Fiona is an electrifying and visual performer who thrills audiences wherever she plays. Her band is made up of some of the most talented musicians in New Zealand; Greg Donaldson on Drums, Pete Fleming on Bass, Mike Ferrar on Guitar and UK pianist and Musical Director, Ian Tilley.
Fiona has spent the last few years performing at prestigious concert halls around the UK, US and Asia. A personal highlight was an appearance at Ronnie Scott’s world famous jazz club in London.
