When you take a Kiwi music legend and get him to play in an historic theatre for two nights only, it is no surprise that the concerts become sell-out events.
That's exactly what happened last week when Dave Dobbyn came to Stratford to perform in the iconic TET Kings Theatre, which is celebrating its centenary this year.
"I am thrilled to be here — the theatre has a rich and important culture," Dobbyn told the crowd on Thursday night, as he started the first of his two-night concert series in Stratford.
Dobbyn spent much of Wednesday and Thursday practicing in the theatre, and said he enjoyed exploring the building.
