Summer Sounds of Southland concert series battles onROBYN EDIE/FAIRFAX NZ Kelly Miller dances to Tranzition with her daughter Emily, 3, at the Summer Sounds of Southland concert at the South Alive community gardens on Sunday. The sounds of summer were loud and clear on Sunday, but the not-so-summery weather might have been louder. The concert series, put on by Venture Southland, has battled with the Southland elements but is forging ahead with the rest of its concerts.​Event organiser Angela Newell said despite having to cancel the Bluff concert scheduled for January 22 and Sunday's concert being postponed for a couple of hours, a lot of great Southland talent was on show. Tranzition singer Stephen Wilcox said despite the less than ideal weather, it was nice to have the opportunity to perform outside. "Summer has been quite bad all over the country so we've just got to take the good with the bad," she said.
