Summer Sounds Bluff moved to a new venue this year and the verdict after a very successful concert on Sunday was that it is a great change.

Argyle Park was actually used as a venue for Summer Sounds Bluff many years ago but over the past few years the concert has taken place at the Gunpit on Bluff Hill. However, with crowds attending the concert outgrowing the confines of the Gunpit the decision was made to move back to Argyle Park.

On Sunday in beautiful conditions Darcy Kerr opened with a selection of covers and some of his own originals including some new material to be followed by Triple Shot – Chris Chilton, Simon Thompson and Jacob Hewton – who wrapped up the day with a selection of covers.

Many danced while children had room to enjoy their surroundings including the Argyle Park playground and comments were supportive of the change indicating that it is worth investigating making it a more permanent home for the event.

Summer Sounds Bluff is organised by Bluff Promotions with the support of the Creative Communities Scheme, Bluff Engineering & Welding, i Hire Invercargill, King ‘of The Road Bluff/Oreti Transport, the Bluff Oyster & Food Festival Committee and ICC Parks.
