    Idol winner heads home to sing
    by Ellen Irvine | 12th January 2010

    Australian Idol winner Stan Walker will return to Tauranga this weekend to play at the Matakana Island Natural Breeze music festival.

    It will be Walker's first public performance in New Zealand since winning the television singing contest in November.

    He visited Auckland last month to sing at the Maori Sports Awards and promote his debut album, but did not sing publicly or return to his marae at Tamapahore, near Mount Maunganui.

    Festival co-organiser Christine Murray said Walker had been on the event's "wish list" since before his win.

    Event organisers were expecting the announcement to boost ticket sales, as the phone had started ringing "red hot" since his appearance was confirmed just yesterday.
    "People were ringing saying 'is it true, is it true?"' Mrs Murray said.
    "We are just absolutely stoked."

    Entertainment co-ordinator Tim Cooper said Walker's mother had contacted him about Walker doing a concert, and Cooper had suggested the Matakana Island festival.
    "I think he really wanted his first gig in New Zealand to be back home [in Tauranga]."
    Walker attended Arataki Primary School before his family moved to Hamilton, and later to Australia.

    He will now headline the festival, which also features Katchafire, Herbs, and others. Walker will perform at 4.30pm, early enough for his young fans to catch the show.

    The festival is run by the island's Te Awanui Hauora Trust (health trust), and is promoted as a family-friendly event that is drug-free, alcohol-free and smoke-free.
    Walker, who has spoken publicly of his abusive childhood and battle with alcohol, was a perfect fit for the event, Mr Cooper said.

    "Stan is drug- and alcohol-free. He was brought up in Tamapahore and is local as. He was brought up in your typical Once Were Warriors sort of thing, and is anti-violence and anti-drug.

    "He's a good pretty much a poster boy for the kaupapa. He defines what we are about."
    Mr Cooper expected many of Walker's whanau to visit Matakana Island, where his grandparents were from, for the festival.

    "A lot of them went over to Australia for the final, but I would say there will be a whole lot more who will come to this."

    The capacity for the concert is 3000 people, and Mr Cooper advised fans to get in quick as tickets were selling fast.

    Tickets are $52, including transport, and are available from TicketDirect

    WTG Kiwi!
    Go and experience a live performance. I've been VERY lucky in that I've seen Stan singing live on several occasions and I met him at a signing at Blacktown with Queen Tiger.
    He is such an awesome performer and a REAAAALLLLLLY lovely young man!

But theres heaps to watch....Herbs, p-money, Maisey Rika (love her) and katchfire at 7pm. It will be awesome.

    I'll reprezent hardowt for Stans State.

Haha i told Stan about Stans State there...haha...had a good ole chat to him. my account of the whole thing is somewhere here. Not sure where tho...someone moved it..lol...probably too long!!
