jazz on a winter’s night The Queenstown Jazz Orchestra is bringing a full orchestral jazz concert to Arrowtown later this month – a rare opportunity to hear the region’s top jazz musicians and vocalists in an authentic bigband concert performance.

For Jazz in Concert the orchestra’s full 16-piece line-up, featuring, will perform classics from Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Buddy Rich; as well as songs made famous by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Michael Bublé, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee and Sarah Vaughn.

Guest vocalist is James Tait-Jamieson, a New Zealand sax player and singer who has performed in front of audiences at Caesar’s Palace, The Bellagio, Wynn Las Vegas and Mandalay Bay on the Las Vegas Strip.

The Queenstown Jazz Orchestra, which was formed in 2011, has played at most big events, including the Queenstown Winter Festival, Alexandra Blossom Festival, Queenstown Jazz Festival, Queenstown Wine and Food Festival as well as many private and corporate events.

The orchestra will perform Jazz in Concert at 7.30 pm on Saturday 22 June 2019 at the Athenaeum Hall, during the Queenstown Winter Festival. Tickets are $30, available from the Lakes District Museum in Arrowtown or on Eventfinda.

Doors open at 7 pm, and a cash bar will be on offer, courtesy of Wet Jacket Wines.

arrowtown village association news arrowtown ward councillor required

As many in the community are aware, it is with regret we have noted Scott Stevens is not going to stand as your local QLDC ward councillor in the upcoming elections. I am sure you will all agree Scott has been a wonderful representative of our village around the full council table and join in wishing him well, and understanding his need to spend time with family.

It is vital that Arrowtown has a strong council presence, and this is confirmed possible by the reassuring recent news that we have retained our right to a specific ward councillor. However, this role will continue to be under threat as the population in the whole QLDC area increases and the need for a specific ward councillor is challenged by others.

I am sure you will all agree the special nature of Arrowtown needs to be recognised, and a councillor is an integral part of this.

Anyone who is willing, or knows of someone who they consider suitable, to stand in the October elections please feel free to contact Scott for a chat on what is required. A passion for all things Arrowtown will be essential, but

we encourage you to strongly consider this and explore the opportunity. Contact is possible via our AVA website if needed.

At the same time we elect an Arrowtown councillor, the Otago Regional Council elections will also be held. Ella Lawton is stepping down from her role, and there will be three councillor positions available on the Dunstan ward (which includes Arrowtown). This representation is important, as air quality, public transport, our lakes and rivers, biodiversity, and pests are all under the regulatory framework of the ORC. Make sure you read up about those candidates who put their name forward in the following months.

There are many issues that affect Arrowtown over the next election cycle, and it is important that the regulatory body that deals with the quality of our air, soil and water is as proactive and involved as possible.

arrowtown matariki night Arrowtown Preschool is inviting the community to celebrate matariki on Thursday 27 June, from 5 pm to 7.30 pm at a new, bigger site – the Ramshaw Lane carpark.

Matariki is the Māori name for the Pleiades, a cluster of stars that rises at this time of year and heralds the Māori New Year. At matariki people come together to remember their ancestors, share food, play music and tell stories.

Organiser Jon Brooks says all the favourites will be back this year: music from Choice and Peti Seiuli, Flame Entertainment’s fire dances and the LUMA faeries. Arrowtown School’s kapa haka group will be front and centre, and the preschool kids will sing by candlelight. Throughout the evening lanterns will be released into the night sky.

Jon says there will be plenty of choice for food and drink. Jay Sherwood will be there with his barbecue and Lake & Wood craft beer. The Banh ODDFELLOWS BEAUTY Van is coming: ‘Expect yummy Vietnamese to warm up those tummies,’ says Jon. The preschool will sell sausages, and hot soup, cheese rolls and homemade apple pies will be on offer too. The famous s’mores WE HAVE MOVED TO A are returning, as are Chard SUNNY HAVEN ABOVE Farm’s exceptional mulled THE VILLAGE GREEN wine and hot chocolate.

Find us now at 5 Berkshire Street.

This event is a fundraiser Walk up from Arrowlane gate or for the community-run drive & park @ 5 Berkshire st. preschool. Please note it will Book online to receive discounts be cash only. It is sponsored with us & check out FB specials.

pink ribbon event success Arrowtown Business Women’s Group organiser Rosie Jones says the recent Pink Ribbon High Tea at Provisions was a huge success: ‘It was really wonderful to see such a big turn out!’

Rosie says that thanks to the generosity of Jane Shaw and the team at Provisions, Quartz Reef Wines, Allpress Espresso and Stir Tea, 100% of the ticket price ($920 in total) went to the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation.

‘Special mention to Rosie from Rosie Flowers for the gorgeous buttonholes she made everyone – a special treat,’ says Rosie J. If you weren’t able to make the High Tea, you can donate via tinyurl. com/ABWGtea. ‘Every little bit makes a difference,’ says Rosie.
