Day two of the Tamaki Nui A Rua kapa haka festival in the Dannevirke Town Hall was simply the best.
"This has got to be one of the best," Tararua District councillor Carole Isaacson said. "Music is one of the things which brings happiness into our lives."
MC for the day Richard Harrison-Kamura agreed.
"This is a very joyous occasion, with the performances bringing a tear to the eye," he said.
Chairman Thomas Kamura said the talent was outstanding.
