Baby Boomers Looking for a Venue.

Nick from Torbay - Long Bay

A group of ‘mature musicians’ are seeking a venue, three to four times per year.

The ‘Capo Club’ [pronounced Car–po] is based upon the concept of:

“Live from Daryl's House” and here are some video examples:

The club is a mix of:
Teachers - Nurses - Accountants - Tele communications - I. T. - Media - Private business owners.

There are currently 12 musicians, who are not seeking any payment- just a location to enjoy music. Occasional guest performers could also be present. Some musicians would need to travel or fly into Auckland to attend.

The idea is for this to be family friendly so, your friends and relatives could be present to watch and listen to live music.

Do you have a venue similar to the example shown, or a large space - barn - hall - cosy home room - factory - available, preferably on the North Shore?

Soft furnishings are preferred rather than hard concrete surfaces due to the audio reverberation. Any lighting or P A systems will be provided by the club.

Please contact Nick on 0274972579 or email:

Thank you

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
