Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Wednesday January 31 2024 Bay Harbour News NEWS 3 Musicians unite to save community shed WHEN LITTLE River resident Jordan Luck found Todd Tulk grafting inside the town’s aging and unused community shed it struck a chord with the singer songwriter. One weekend before the Covid-19 pandemic took hold, Tulk, the lead instructor at the Little River Jiu-Jitsu Club, was doing work inside the building the club had purchased in 2018. Once Luck learned about the voluntary work Tulk was doing, the legendary Exponents front man suggested a concert to fundraise for the building’s renovation. “I was working on the floor when Jordan stuck his nose in,” said Tulk. “We got chatting to work out how to raise some funds and Jordan said ‘let’s do a concert’.” Their plan finally comes to fruition on Saturday when the Jordan Luck Band headlines the first Little River Music Festival in a decade. It will be staged on Peter and Tracey Wright’s Western Valley Rd property. Luck’s support acts include Christchurch musicians Al Park and his band, plus Adam Hattaway and the Haunters, and recently reformed Little River four piece, The Western Valley Road Band. The musicians stepped up on RENOVATION PROJECT: A benefit concert hopes to raise money towards the restoration of a community shed in Little River owned by the town’s jiu-jitsu club. a voluntary basis for the event, which dovetails with the jiu-jitsu club’s 10th anniversary. The intention is for the corrugated iron construction on Barclays Rd – which has not officially been used due to its condition – to be restored so its members and other community initiatives can utilise it. “It’s effectively laid dormant,” Tulk said. Currently the martial arts club uses the town’s community hall on Thursdays. Tulk estimated the complete restoration project, including the addition of a mezzanine floor, would cost about $300,000. “About $150,000 would be a minimum to make it serviceable, I reckon we’d need double that to actually make it something that’ll last a long time,” he said. Tulk said the goal is for kick boxing, yoga, pilates and gymnastics to also call the shed home once it is spruced up. “It’s a community shed. It’s about the community this whole project,” he said. “There’s a lady who wants to set up a weights gym – she’s got all the gear so we’ve got space for that. “It can be done, but it’s a mission. Anyone in their right mind would go ‘bulldoze it’, but there’s a lot of history there.” The shed was established by a power pole manufacturing business due to the plot’s proximity to a saw mill, and later became the town’s fire station until the new headquarters was built in 1982. A recycling facility was then operated out of the building, before it became a joinery workshop. • For details on the festival and ticketing information visit: festival.littleriver.co.nz MUSIC: Iconic Kiwi rocker Jordan Luck spearheads the fundraising concert on Saturday.
