NZ Pasifika Arts and Music Site

Okay, so according to the stats I've been a member of this site for 3years and 3weeks...and probably about a year and a half ago, I was apologising in a blog that I was spending a lot of time on MySpace. Okay, that's true, (as well as Bebo, and now a little bit of Facebook) so this is an update on what's happening with PU. Since the last entry that was made from PU, (Vitu-Pacific Arts) which was in February much has happened with the current shows on offer.

On the final day of Vitu-Pacific Arts the Family Day will bring you all day entertainment, food, stalls, crafts all with the flavour of the Pacific!!
