Doubtful Sounds choir here next weekend - 3 performances

Wellington's funkiest little choir, The Doubtful Sounds, is blowing into Wairarapa: The Doubtfuls, which specialises in pop songs with a classical twist, will perform three gigs in September, in Martinborough, Masterton and Stonehenge Aotearoa.
(all shows set up for L2 arrangements) You'll hear everything from Sam Cooke standards, through to Elton John classics, along with more recent hits from Radiohead, Elbow, Shaed, and New Zealand's own Aldous Harding.

As well as shows in Martinborough and Masterton at Aratoi, the choir will test the unique acoustic of Stonehenge Aotearoa, with a special gig under the stars, starting at 7pm on Saturday night.

Martinborough Hall; Saturday Sept 5th, 2pm
Stonehenge Aotearoa; Sat Sept 5th, 7pm (Under the Milky Way)
Aratoi Gallery, Masterton, Sunday, Sept 6th, 2pm.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
