Sola Rosa live in concert at the YOT Club, Raglan, Friday 5th February, Waitangi Weekend 2016. This gig is a welcome return to Raglan for this great band featuring Kevin Mark Trail on vocals and led by the enigmatic Andrew Spraggon. As part of the Raglan Five Dollar Festival Music trail we are delighted to have this iconic Kiwi act to play again in the Town.
Well known for their great live shows this night will be real special, having sold out at last year’s performance we are expecting a full house – book your place early as this will be a popular choice with locals and visitors.
