Bent Horseshoe and The Hokowhitu Bowling Club presents Adam McGrath on Saturday 16th of August at 7.30 at a cost of $25.What can I say about Adam,he has been called a National treasure,he is Robyns favourite NZ singer Songwriter
He is an immence talent but he is also someone many of you have never heard of.
He was one of the highlights of last years concerts and we are so looking forward to seeing him again this year.For a solo artist to command the stage as Adam does is something to behold.This will be a very special concert not to be missed.
Adam is a big guy with a big stage presence with his amazing songs a powerful voice.
Robyn and I have seen him a few times now and it is a memorable experience.
Everyone I have talked to who has seen Adam has been enthused by his performance,so if you have seen Adam before talk to your friends and get them to come along so we can get him a great crowd and make him a regular addition to the stable of artists that we have playing on an annual basis.
