Gentlemen never out of fashion

Several hundred people got a little pampered at Whangarei’s first Gentleman's Ball at the weekend. Held at The Old Stone Butter Factory on Saturday, The Gentleman's Ball brought a touch of class to Whangarei with a range of attractions and entertainment for all, including tattooing, wet shaves and even a shoe shiner to get that footwear looking spick and span. The Northern Advocate’s photographer Michael Cunningham went along to capture these images of the event.

No, it's not a scene from Sweeney Todd - the Demon Barber of Fleet St, just Ben Currie having a wet shave at The Gentleman's Ball on Saturday.
