The Drones win talent competition

The Drones win talent competition. Three of the four members in the band are former WHS students; left to right, Adam Robinson, Isaac Chamberlain, Ethan Coleman and other member Andrew Condon.

Three acts were judged winners in the talent show at last week's Thursday Night Street Feast in Whanganui's Majestic Square.

Mainstreet Whanganui event, marketing and promotion manager Kelly Scarrow said the top group was The Drones. They won a $400 paid gig at next year's Caboodle street festival.

Second was Sue Thorby, who won $150 and $30 meal vouchers for the street feast. The Krew were third, and won $100 and meal vouchers. Young singer and keyboard player AJ Malili-Malo-Lauano was highly commended.

The street feasts are usually on the second Thursday of each month. There's none planned for April but Mainstreet is working on something special for May 11, Mrs Scarrow said.
