Thanks to Karen Temple for the following:

1. Auckland Zoo Requires Performers

For Sponsors Night.

Date: Saturday 8th October
Time: 5pm to 8pm

Sponsors and their families will be taken on a 'trek' around the Zoo. At each area they will have nibbles & drinks and at 3 - 4 areas they would like some entertainment. People will be mingling and chatting in each area as opposed to watching a 'performance'.

Your performance will need to work unamplified or you will need to provide your own amplification (cost of you providing this is included in your
fee) - any amplification used should be minimal. Setups need to be simple.

The stops are: Lion Shelter 10 -15mins - african music? Sealion Shores 10 - 15mins - maybe harp, watery theme! Primate Trail Lemurs 10 - 15mins - What about something either Indonesian or Carribean style (Just Juice sponsor that area) Rainforest 30 - 40mins - South American Rainforest setting, something acoustic brazillian theme (no drums) Budget $150 - short stops And $300 - $400 longer stop?

Also, any African style musicians/groups out there should get in touch with them as they are looking to be doing an African event early next year.
