The people of Wairoa are being invited to be part of a song video this Saturday with its creator urging everyone to try and get along to help show the world "what Wairoa has to offer".
Musician Kiri Gilbert is passionate about his hometown. So passionate he composed a song for everyone to embrace and fittingly it is simply called The Wairoa Song.
It was created as a form of anthem for the town and he has been getting out and about to spread the word about it, and the filming of it as part of a special recording this Saturday which he will centre around the landmark lighthouse with people asked to call by at 4.30pm to take part.
"We need the whole community to be a part of this video," the 29-year-old said.
"It would be awesome if people could wear clothes that have 'Wairoa' on them, or logos that represent Wairoa like sports uniforms and club uniforms," he said, adding that he did not want "gang stuff" as part of the clothing.
