Prepare to party MATT BROWN

Dig out your dancing shoes and strap in for a New Year to remember. Picton’s foreshore is the place to be once again, after a local event planner revived the popular party. And this year’s event will have an Eclectic Fix for everyone, with every Dangerbaby dancing to the Bitter End. Local big-band Eclectic Fix will join Blenheim cover band Bitter End on the main stage from 7pm with the Christchurch-based trio Dangerbaby ushering in 2023 to a fireworks display from Marlborough Fireworks. Eclectic Fix driving force Linda Holdaway says their first New Year performance is an opportunity for them to unleash their inner Tina Turner; just what everyone wants to do on New Year’s Eve, she says. The eight-piece band features drums, bass, two keys, two vocalists, trumpet and a sax, with several of the musicians able to swap out their instruments to completely change their sound. “Putting the brass in allows us to do Chicago, or Earth, Wind and Fire – those big sounds that Billy Joel or Elton John get,” says Linda.
