Jordan Luck at Apra 2007A confirmed supporter of the project is Jordan Luck, who’ll be belting out hits for his third successive LDO festival in an effort to raise money for the project.

As the country’s first inductee into the NZ Music Hall of Fame, he’s conscious of the value of such public spaces.

“Westmere kids and the community desperately need a place they can call their own.

I remember school assemblies being a huge amount of fun and a vital place for young ones to try their hand at the performing arts.

I challenge my mates to join in and give a bit of their time for the next generation.”

Jordan’s new video for “Here They Come, There They Go” is here (Quicktime Version ) or below if you prefer it as an embedded video.

Don McGlashanOther performers already booked are Don McGlashan, as well as high school band AD/BC which includes Don’s son Louis.

Don is recognised as one of New Zealand’s foremost songwriters, artists and performers with five entries in APRA New Zealand’s Top 100 Songs Of All Time.

His career spans from the seminal post-pop-punk band Blam Blam Blam, to art experimentalists The Front Lawn, to platinum selling and internationally recognised popular band The Mutton Birds.

With his new band The Seven Sisters, McGlashan performs songs from his first solo album Warm Hand, favourites from The Mutton Birds and the Front Lawn, and some classics in the making from the new album. More information about Don is available on the Arch Hill website here.

While the Little Day Out is a major Westmere fundraising event there is also another way you can contribute to school fundraising. The recipe book is still available @ $25 per copy.

Westmere Home Kitchen Recipe BookThe Westmere Home Kitchen is the Westmere School recipe book as contributed by parents, students, staff and friends of the school to help with fundraising.

What makes this recipe book better is that every single recipe has been designed and tested in actual, real, life-sized homes. That’s right. Westmere Home Kitchen recipes can be made while your kids are having tantrums in the living room. Or there’s a three year old Batman wrapped around your ankle asking for one of those biscuits with the pink things on them…..

As you can imagine, it’s not easy creating the world’s finest cookbook. Most of our contributors have actually gone to the effort of having children, sometimes two, three or more to make sure these recipes can be made in ‘real-life’ circumstances.
