ALLPRESS OLIVE GROVES hosts the Fullers360 GOOD FRIDAY GROOVE.
Dual headliners Mark Williams and Deva Mahal represent two distinct eras in the history of NZ music. Mark recorded the very first NZ number 1 single “Yesterday was just the beginning of my life” in the ‘70’s, then went on to a stellar career in Australia, fronting legendary band DRAGON for the last 20 years. Deva’s musical heritage is undeniable – daughter of US Blues icon Taj Mahal, Deva was born and raised in Hawaii and while a star on the rise in this country, she has a string of international accolades and awards. Joining them on the bill are NZ rock legends the NARCS performing with the star of “When the Cat's Away” fame Kim Willoughby on vocals. Make no mistake this is one of the most diverse and exciting lineups ever to play the Fullers360 Good Friday Groove! Also on the bill are the youthful and enormously funky “Big Tasty” as well as one of the country's finest Big Bands, the WBB Big Band, who take us through the Aretha Franklin songbook, to Van Morrison, Parliament and beyond!
