Format:
We will use the kanakapila format of everyone taking a turn to choose a song from the songbooks with the whole group singing and playing along. You can choose to perform a song or bring a new song one with around 20 copies to share. You can also pass your turn.

When it is your turn, we strongly encourage you to lead the song using the mic and sound equipment provided. We encourage everyone to have a go doing this, because having someone at the mic helps keeping the song moving along with bass and percussion.
