Open mic - for youth (with guardian)
These school holidays might be an ideal time to get your family together and let your musical teenagers show off what they can do - it's mainly for acoustic guitar/singing, but we can provide piano too if requested in advance, or any instruments you bring along are ok. Held at Takapuna Bar (2a Anzac St) - starts from 7:30pm Tuesdays. All ages/experience, it's a general open mic night and has some talented regulars going till late, but thought it was worth letting people know its youth friendly early in the night (with guardian), as we often have a few and some are really talented. It's a good chance to get some performance experience too. Free entry for all.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
