THE MUSHROOM BALL 1988-2000

The Mushroom Ball started in 1988 at the Railway Hall (long since demolished)
A friend of mine (Vic) suggested during a conversation that we create an event like an old fashioned ball with people dressed up in their finery but with a decent hard rockin'/punky soundtrack.She suggested the name The Mushroom Ball.
The Mushroom Ball quickly strayed from her inital suggestion and mutated into a Celebration of Rock 'n' Roll taking place sometime in May (Magic Mushroom season)
each year.

Over the years a number of great bands played these gigs which were held in a number of different venues around New Plymouth.
Gig posters showing line ups and venues will be added sometime
