Festival raises $11k
The annual Pauls Road Live music festival raised more than $11,000 for Gabby s Starlit Hope Charity. The charity was set up by Gabby Devine in early 2014, after she was diagnosed with Ewing s sarcoma the previous year. Devine died in 2015 aged 13, but the charity has continued in her honour. Three Whanganui and New Plymouth families with children who have cancer have been gifted $3770 each. The charity thanked festival organisers Fred Loveridge and Kerry O Sullivan, the Butlers for hosting, all the local bands that performed and everyone who attended and supported the event.

Flocks of locals converged in Whanganui East on Sunday for one of the city s favourite annual concerts.
Cloudy weather and occasional showers didn t stop hundreds of keen locals gathering for the 13th annual Pauls Road Live music festival on Sunday afternoon.
Organiser Fred Loveridge said they dodged two bullets for the day, with New Zealand returning to Covid-19 alert level 1 to allow large gatherings from 6am Sunday, and any rough weather that would disturb the event.
