Wairarapa DJ to feature at this weekend's 121 Festival

Former St Matthew's Collegiate School for Girls Head Prefect,
Alice Cresswell, is being interviewed by Brent Gare on Masterton’s MORE FM tomorrow morning at 8.35am.

Al’s now an up and coming live performer with DJ skills and electronic music production experience. This weekend she’ll live on stage at the 121 Music Festival at Tauherenikau Racecourse.

Al started DJing in her bedroom more than 10 years ago and did her first public gig in 2019.

Since then she’s been DJing regularly around New Zealand, including festivals like Rhythm & Vines, Rhythm & Alps, Twisted Frequency, Taniwha's Den (local) and, of course, the 121 Festival.

Hear her live interview with Brent tomorrow and remember, Wairarapa locals enjoy an extra special ticket price for the Festival for Saturday, 11 March. The special local ticket price is $99 (usually $139), and is available at both the Masterton and Martinborough i-SITE Visitor Information Centres.

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.
