Don't miss the Zimmermans (Bob Dylan Band) at Cobblestones on Sunday

Enjoy a relaxed Sunday afternoon of Music on the Green at Cobblestones in Greytown on Sunday from 4pm.The Zimmermans, an eight piece power band play all Bob Dylan music in a stunning two hour show. Supported by Dragonfly up and coming local band. Cash bar for beer and wine as well as delicious food including sausage sizzle, ham rolls, cheese platters, berries with ice cream or bring your own picnic.

The Zimmermans have recently toured the North Island and brought the house down at every concert. One of the band's founders, Paddy Burgin, Says: From his early folk days through the periods of electric blues and rock to the more reflective later songs the Zimmermans tackle everything with a full compliment of guitars, drums, bass, keyboards, brass and – of course a harmonica.

The big band is made up of former players from the Mockers, Let’s Planet, the Wooden Box Band, and the Sneaky Feelings. Paddy Burgin said “ Bob Dylan can often be seen as a mysterious chameleon like character but his contribution to recent music history is unequalled by any other single musician.”

“So many of his great songs have been covered by others that people at our shows often find themselves singing along to a chorus they didn’t even know was written by Dylan.” “We dig deep into a few of the more obscure compositions by the master but of course there are some absolute Dylan bangers you could not get away with avoiding.”

While Dylan’s heyday may have been the sixties and seventies the Zimmermans are always surprised at the number of younger people enjoying their gigsA superb evening of barnstorming, live music with The Zimmermans - don't miss out - get your tickets now to avoid the queue on Sunday afternoon/evening.
Tickets from Eventfinda, the Masterton or Martinborough I-SITE Visitor Centres or from the Cobblestones front desk. Cash bar and delicious food for sale.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
