British piano man Ben Waters (left) had an impromptu practice session with Chris Jagger (right) after landing in Queenstown yesterday.

The pair play Arrowtown's Athenaeum Hall tonight with Rolling Stones backing musician Tim Ries and backing vocalist Bernard Fowler, and Waters' son Tom on sax (second left).

It is a return to the Wakatipu for Waters, who has shared a stage with music stars such as Jools Holland and Mick Hucknall. He says the gig, a fundraiser for Queenstown Trails Trust, will be full of energy.

``I like to have fun with music.''

Jagger is the younger brother of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.

Pictured with the musicians yesterday is organiser Mike Norris, of Akaroa.
