Musicians from Rotorua and around the country will head to Whakatane for a traditional Celtic celebration next month.
A ceilidh is planned for July 15 at the Awakeri Arts Centre to raise money for the venue's maintenance.
The traditional Irish/Scottish knees-up has attracted musicians from around New Zealand, including Rotorua guitar player Chris Ennor.
He is due to perform traditional Celtic tunes as part of the McKay-Lee Project Band, with John McKay, Lee Barton, Julie Grace and John Childs.
A ceilidh typically involves dancing, live music, food and drink.
