A guest appearance with a New Zealand Symphony Orchestra ensemble has a Pukemiro Primary School boy considering a career in music.
Aaron Richards, 13, and schoolmate Harley Tumohe were among a number of north Waikato students who played at a charity concert by the NZSO in Huntly. The event was staged to thank Solid Energy, the area's major employer, for its sponsorship.
Waatea News reports the pair played their ukuleles for the theme music from The Blues Brothers and Tiki Taane's Always on my Mind.
Aaron Richards says his school is looking forward to being part of an attempt to beat the world record for ukulele orchestras in Auckland later this year.
