A police spokeswoman said Gisborne\/Tair\u0101whiti saw no significant issues over New Year\u2019s Eve<\/a>, with police successfully preventing planned large gatherings by antisocial road users, and no issues reported at R&V.<\/p>\n

Fireworks at the festival could be heard several kilometres away, along with bass-heavy sets that continued into the early hours of New Year\u2019s Day. <\/p>\n

Pardoe was enthusiastic about playing her set in front of a mostly young crowd, who were out there on days that also included mud after heavy rain. <\/p>\n

\u201cOh, just the whole bracket was fun, just looking out and seeing all those wonderful young people knee-deep in mud, having fun, enjoying it, being happy. What else could you wish for to be out there entertaining and being all a part of it?\u201d<\/p>\n

She said music was selected that they thought would be \u201cappropriate for folk dancing with an 81-year-old on the deck\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just have to get into the spirit of everything, you know. Everyone was so supportive and so encouraging. I couldn\u2019t back out.\u201d<\/p>\n

SuperGrans is the official charity partner of Rhythm and Vines. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat was important for us. We were really grateful that R&V had asked us to partner with them, so that was a huge opportunity, and we needed to make the most of it.\u201d <\/p>\n

The festival, in previous years, has raised $40,000 for the Gisborne Mayoral Relief Fund<\/a> over two years and over $62,500 for Lifeline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pardoe spent time before the gig being \u201cbusy, contemplating and getting myself sussed up for the moment\u201d, she said. <\/p>\n

She had gone shopping in Wellington for an outfit to wear to the event with her 28-year-old grandson. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe had fun choosing it. You know, just wanting to get into the moment, and we did once we got dressed up. Plenty of support from family and friends and strangers. It was great.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was grateful for the reception they had received at the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cHands out to the organisers of the whole event, just amazing. The hospitality was incredible. We were treated like royalty. Just nothing was too much trouble, and you look around there and think, it\u2019s just so good for Gisborne. Just so good.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe spirit at this time of the year, lots of people have had a long, hard year. And so for people to come together and celebrate, the workers behind the scenes<\/a>, the R&V people … So, we\u2019re very grateful for that. But I couldn\u2019t have done it without so much support from everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A police spokeswoman said Gisborne\/Tair\u0101whiti saw no significant issues over New Year\u2019s Eve, with police successfully preventing planned…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":210819,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49816,95,1975,651,8615,4731,35142,36445,14037,8127,3685,3011,12506,10116,1452,79094,111,16652,43,139,7805,69,90,675,6653,3550,5257,2737,128212,3551,102],"class_list":["post-210818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-amazing","tag-and","tag-at","tag-close","tag-come","tag-days","tag-debut","tag-dj","tag-electric","tag-end","tag-events","tag-four","tag-gisborne","tag-incidents","tag-issues","tag-minted","tag-new-zealand","tag-newly","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-no","tag-nz","tag-on","tag-police","tag-reflects","tag-rhythm","tag-significant","tag-star","tag-supergran","tag-vines","tag-with"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210818\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
