Mysterious musician entertains Mt Eden neighbours with backyard concert

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Central Leader

A mysterious singer has treated his Mt Eden neighbours to a backyard concert.

Locals gathered out onto their balconies on Wednesday afternoon, with some pulling up lawn chairs, to enjoy the music.

“He was singing old school songs, like Elvis. It was pretty good, people were into it,” Nikolina Ivanovic, who lives adjacent to the musician, said.

“Almost everyone came out onto their decks to watch, it was quite cute.”

The identity of the singer is yet unknown, but he confidently belted out covers into his microphone.

Ivanovic said it left her feeling nice and happy.

“It was good to have something different in my day, rather than just work, so it was a good way to break up the day,” she said.

“He said I’m bored, your bored, let’s bring some happiness into these times.”

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
