Rotorua Tattoo, 24 Feb 08

Hi all

Had the pleasure of attending the Search Light Tattoo in Rotorua last night. Absolutely fantastic. Four hours of enjoyment. A more mature audience had a fantastic night. It was performed over two nights & there was a huge crowd on both nights.

As a past gunner with 4 Mdm Bty (the big bangers 5.5) I had the pleasure of participating in 10 of these through the eighties. After attending one in NZ as a spectator, I wonder why there aren't more.

The boys from 16 Field did the job on the overture. The Royal NZ Artillery band was world class. The NZ Army band (as always) stole the show.

Cheers from Boof Richardson
