DAVE GENT came to work with MATAU!

We hope you are not sitting there wondering who this musician is that came to work with MATAU during their rehearsal session!!!!

Dave Gent is only the bass guitarist for the NZ iconic band 'THE EXPONENTS'!  For those of you who are old enough, his band was also known as the 'Dance Exponents'.

Yes, he helped them (especially Josh Bonnar) with their cover song 'Why Does Love Do This To Me'.

Dave mentioned he enjoyed it so much, he'd love to come back and do some more sessions with them if they'll have him........ha ha ha........IF WE'LL HAVE HIM?

You can come back anytime you want Dave.  We'd love for you to work with our students.
