Swinging Sixties Celebration
Relive the 60s and celebrate the music that changed the world!
The Swinging Sixties Celebration, 8 – 10 June, is a decadent weekend of music, dancing and dining at luxury Marlborough
Sounds resort Bay of Many Coves.
Renowned Wellington Region musicians Nick Tansley and Andrew London will once again rock the Sixties Celebration with a
playlist of 60s and 70s hits, while guests dine on divine degustation and retro menus specially created by the Resort’s
Executive Chef.
Friday night is Folk Club night with cocktails, canapés and a six course degustation menu by Executive Chef Hannes
Bareiter, featuring stunning local produce and wines to match.
Saturday night’s flavour is retro – Harvey Wallbangers and a retro menu (with a dash of contemporary style), followed by
a rocking good night of 60s and 70s hits by duo Nick Tansley and Andrew London.
Guests are invited to don their best winklepickers and set the scene for the Saturday evening with prizes for the best
dressed 60’s personality.
Culinary delights from the retro menu include such classics as Prawn Cocktail (1962), Chicken Kiev (1965), Duck A La
Orange (1972), Sole Mornay (1961) and Baked Alaska (1967).
