Two sons of New Plymouth will be returning to their home town to entertain the locals during the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) Band tour.
Trumpeter Leading Aircraftman Michael Taylor and percussionist Corporal James Fuller are looking forward to performing for their friends and family during the tour later this month, which includes Carterton and Whanganui.
Leading Aircraftman Taylor played with the band during the 100th commemoration of the liberation of Le Quesnoy in France in 2018 and more recently at the Nanchang International Tattoo in China.
"I'm really looking forward to showing off the breadth of what we do musically on tour," he says.
"I spent nine years studying and performing in New York City and returned three years ago. Since then I have been back to New Plymouth to perform with other groups, but not the RNZAF Band, so I am excited to perform for local family and friends there."
