Support Gokula Music & Greg’s Whānau

Recently, Greg Masson, owner of Gokula Music, passed away peacefully in his sleep. Those who visited Gokula know how generous Greg was with his time and his love of unique music equipment / guitars. Gokula was more than a music shop. It was a magnet for creatives / music nerds from all over Aotearoa and the world, with an incredible community built around it.

Kevin has been a huge part of Gokula too, and anyone who knows the shop knows that.

Although Greg’s passing was peaceful, it was sudden. Greg is survived by his 2 daughters, Renee and Ayla, who now have to take on the financial responsibility of a second hand music shop.

The girls are covering Gokula Music’s expenses out of their own pockets while they sort out the shop and their Dad’s financial situation. These costs include staff wages, utilities, insurance and other bills needed to keep the shop running. They shouldn’t have to cover these costs themselves while dealing with the sudden loss of their Dad.

Greg ran a second hand music shop because he loved it, not because there was much money in it.

I set up this Givealittle because Gokula was amazing to me and was just what Tāmaki Makaurau needed. Greg created something special. Ideally we can keep the shop open! We need to make sure Renee and Ayla aren’t financially affected by the sudden passing of their Dad.

Anything you can give will help with immediate costs and give them some breathing room while they work out what happens next.

Arohanui.
