Songwriters' showcase at Uxbridge, Sunday, March 24

Phil from Farm Cove

Happening this Sunday, March 24, The Bridge is a showcase of singer-songwriters Davey Jo South, Justin Devereux, and Steve Edwards, celebrating the art of songwriting.

It’s being staged in the intimate setting of Uxbridge Arts and Culture Theatre in Howick, 4pm to 6pm.

The Bridge will present Davey Jo South, Steve Edwards and Justin Deveraux talking about the stories behind their original songs, new and old, and their creative writing processes. They’ll also play live, too.

All three are at different stages in recording their works and releasing them publicaly, but one thing is clear that they have in common – they’re always song writing.

Raising money for Music Helps, who believe in the power of music to help and heal, the musicians hope they might assist others find and explore the joy in the music they make and share.

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
