Hi there Neighbours!

With numerous gigs, concerts and festivals postponed or cancelled as a result of the level 4 response, we want you to dance the lockdown away with the new Neighbourly Spotify Playlist! Make your suggestions in the comments below - recommend anything you like on there, as well as tunes you think your Neighbours will enjoy. Chuck in some taste-breakers, one-hit wonders or some good old Kiwi classics - it really doesn’t matter. So if you’re running out of ideas on things to do, why not a dance party?

Just remember: keep it PG, refrain from putting any songs in the mix that may cause offence to your Neighbours. You can find the playlist here.

Happy raving NZ!

They were unable to go to Church which was mindblowing for a lot of them . They say the oldies are the most vulnerable and to stay at home.A lot of the elderly don't have smart phones, computers etc and their lifeline is TV as is with my mother who i can't see at the moment. There is so many classic movies they could play for them instead of the repeats and crap they keep playing. Give them a couple of hours in the morning or evening dedicated to them. There is so many of them out there on their own, or is it with TVNZ FRANKLY MY DEAR I DON'T GIVE A DAMN.
