East FM and The Lounge proudly present a special concert: The legendary John Hanlon will be singing his songs and telling his stories in the intimate setting of The Lounge – Howick’s best kept secret.
An Evening With a Songwriter – John Hanlon – Lounging Around at The Lounge, on Saturday November 19, is a unique event – a homecoming concert for Howick’s most successful songwriter.
Fifty years ago, John Hanlon, a young singer-songwriter from Howick, signed a record contract.

There have also been another seven John Hanlon albums since, including the recent and impressive Naked Truths. See johnhanlon.co.nz

accommodation in Wellington
Hi everyone,
I’m moving to Wellington for work and looking for a place from 16 February 2026. I’m 22 and starting a full-time role as a young graduate professional in IT/Data Science in the CBD.
I’m tidy, respectful, quiet, non-smoker, and like keeping my space clean. Outside of work I enjoy music and photography, but I do keep things quiet at home. I don’t have a car, so good bus access or train to the CBD is important.
What I’m after:
-Prefer living alone (studio/bedsit) but open to a quiet flat too
- Easy bus access or walking distance to the CBD
- Furnished
- Close to a supermarket
- Long-term
- Budget up to $400/week
- Move in early Feb 2026 or late Jan
Just checking if you know any places
Thank you
Regards, Reuben
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
