I was lucky enough to be part of the warm up entertainment at A Day on the Green with Simply Red in Auckland, February 15.

Villa Maria certainly looked different with 10,000 people packed in.  Last time I was there, I was the DJ and MC for a wedding.

Here’s the view from where I was set up…

and the view of the stage once the main band was on, taken just on dusk…

What a show!  Mick sounded great as always, and the rest of the band are precision musicians.   Villa Maria is a great location for this, and it’s certainly nice to see this happening in Auckland instead of letting The Mission in the Hawkse Bay get all the vineyard concert action!

If you were there, I hope you enjoyed the show.  🙂
