Anti-Vday Gig at Freidas
West Lynn local Freida Margolis is throwing an (un)happy hour on Valentines Day for couples or singles who would rather just drink wine and listen to live music. Musician Jeremy Redmore (ex-Midnight Youth) will perform his new album The Brightest Flame  all about lost love which feels appropriate for the anti-Vday approach  with support from Rotorua-based soul/R&B singer Alayna. Did we mention the wine? Friday 14 Feb, 6.30-9.30pm. 440 Richmond Rd, Grey Lynn
