Michael Bublé’s stellar Auckland concert, deemed “so sexy it had become dangerous”, has featured in a reel of the best of the Canadian crooner’s time here in New Zealand and Australia. And one famous Kiwi face and long-time fan also made an appearance: TV news presenter Hilary Barry.
The Seven Sharp host, who interviewed Bublé during his whirlwind trip to Auckland as part of his Higher tour, first appears in the beginning of the Feeling Good singer’s Instagram reel amid shots of media coverage of his time in Auckland. Later in the footage, a snippet of their chat is shared too where Bublé details how he discovered Kiwi buskers “Vanessa and Johnny” and invited them to sing at his show.
The global singing sensation revealed he had been visiting the Auckland Fish Market with his family when he was wowed by a pair of local buskers.
“I was at the fish market and I’m with the kids and the family and we’re sitting there watching them and all of a sudden I hear music and these two people, this woman and this man and he’s playing the piano ...” says the 47-year-old who after talking to the pair arranged to have them sing Up Where We Belong at his Spark Arena concert last Sunday night.
