Review:
I would never have believed that when I moved back to New Zealand I would be sitting in a concert of The Armed Man by the Welsh composer Karl Jenkins in my home town of Whanganui.
Just like the remarkable fact of seeing Bill Bailey here just a few weeks back, this place continues to punch well above its size. Unlike the latter, this concert was a case of local talent and ambition wonderfully on display and how appropriate that this was arranged to be part of the Anzac Day commemorations.
