PAGE 7 PAGE 13 INSIDE TODAY SIX60 THE MOVIE

TILL THE LIGHTS GO OUT: Gisborne is one of four “hometown” venues to feature a premiere of the feature film Till the Lights Go Out — the story of Kiwi band Six60’s path to success. In conjunction with premieres in Dunedin (tonight) and Auckland (November 23), there will be screenings in each band member’s home town — Gisborne (tomorrow at 6pm at the Odeon Multiplex) in the case of lead guitarist Ji Fraser, who will be here for the screening. To win a ticket to the hometown premiere, Air New Zealand ran a SIX60 quiz online. The film details the band’s ups and downs — following their meteoric rise from student gigs at 660 Castle Street in Dunedin to making New Zealand music history with sold-out concerts at Western Springs. The band are pictured at Wainui Beach last year after Gisborne won a visit and “acoustic jam” by the band. From left are Marlon Gerbes, Matiu Waters, Chris Mac, Eli Paewai and Ji Fraser.

MORE pedestrians and cyclists are enjoying the scenic route along Valley Road after the completion of a new footpath and cycleway between Shelley and Massey roads. Gisborne District Council contractors Downer finished the $292,000 project last month, linking a new 1.5-metre-wide footpath to the existing Barkers Hill footpath. Other safety improvements were installed as part of the project, including new pram crossings at Barkers Hill and Massey Road, new vehicle crossings to some properties, sections of road widening and safety fencing at the Dryden Street stream crossing, along with drainage improvements. Valley Road resident Jon Gardner said the new path had immediately addressed safety concerns.
