Les Robinson is playing this evening at the Mount Maunganui Hot Pools Soak n' Sounds event. What they say is true, a Sunday well spent really does bring a week of content. Unwind and finish your week in style with a relaxing soak and the sweet sounds of local live musicians poolside at the Mount Hot Pools. Meet up with friends to catch up on weekend events or come on your own to rest, relax and unwind. Live performances are taking place every Sunday until April 2 between 7pm-8.30pm and standard admission fees apply.
