Full house for Remuera Gardens Village Party

Last Friday's Village party at Remuera Gardens was a roaring success. Beattie Lodge was again at full capacity with more than 40 residents participating in the event. They all enjoyed the performance of the Madeleines Trio, a vintage three part harmony trio based in Auckland. The trio is made up of Shannon Evison, Hannah Kee and Jess Rogers, three singers who have worked internationally in musical theatre. On Friday they sang jazz and swing hits from the 20s to the 60s. For the residents it was a great occasion to gather with their friends, enjoy delicious food and drinks, and get their feet tapping to sophisticated tunes.
