Danny's Eagle Project






Danny planned a Benefit Concert for his Eagle Project. . . some of the best musicians in Taranaki; one of the most enjoyable programs that I've attended!  I felt very proud!

Danny learns not to believe everything you read in the paper,
as he is brazenly misquoted.  




Program:
MC for the evening: Ben Hall.  Ben had written out his comments, and they were the perfect mix of humor and personal stories.  He made a real contribution to the evening.

Check out this program variety!  The variety made the concert feel that it flew by all too quickly!

  • Classical marimba
  • Organ 
  • Pop Vocalist
  • Classical violin
  • Jazz piano
  • Flute and classical guitar duo -very classy 
  • Danny finished with a great speech and then played a piece called "Tribute," as a tribute to the volunteer community.

Setting up the marimba - Dominic is AMAZING on marimba
Wonderful group of musicians
Joyce handing a program to some friends.
Price of admission:  2 items for the New Plymouth Food Bank

10 minutes before the start time - the venue is filling up.


David Codd on organ -
Bach so loud and majestic that it drowned out all sound
from the "Americarna" Festival happening downtown.
Violinist, de Jesus Silva, with his new baby.  Anne Bovett in the background.

Matt Sagen's jazz improv was a highlight.
This is his most recent CD cover.
