The All Girl Big Band and Sideline Swing will take you right back to the Christchurch Commonwealth Games era as they play music hits from the 70s. The setting is the wonderful outdoor heritage space of The Arts Centre. They will be joined by the Christchurch School of Music (CSM) band whose nascent years were at The Arts Centre. The bands also celebrate the 18th year of the Labour Weekend Christchurch Big Band Festival.
