Opening Ceremony at Spark Areana TONIGHT 10 July 2024
– 11,000 people from 30 different countries –
plus a bunch of kiwi acts (including mine/ours)
a FEAST for the ears (& eyes – and soul) between 10 July 2024 and 20 July 2024
Day Pass Tickets are available - $30 Adult pass for the ENTIRE DAY – roam all over, feast on this, that – maybe a bit of that (I only got hold of the Programme Book last night – 294 pages!!!)
So check it out – bunch of awesomness – FEAST of different sounds, styles, culture, *people* - nau mai, haere mai to our guests, vistors
Now sharing this for YOU all (been asking people, days, weeks, months – “did you know” = NO) – understand there was recent media – the Herald, the Listener – still, I ask "did you know" "have you heard" - "NO"
please don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime experience – FEAST, savour, *enjoy* - started already - RIGHT HERE< RIGHT NOW!
My/our choir – All Together Now – are performing at Auckland Town Hall on Friday night, and at Aotea Centre on Saturday morning, not worried about these –
what I am concerned about is our FRIENDSHIP CONCERT – Tomorrow/Today – depends on *when* you are reading this.
"Friendship concerts take place all over Tāmaki Makaurau! Choirs from around the world share their songs with the local community in some of our iconic cultural institutions, vibrant neighbourhood arts centres, inner city spaces, historic churches, botanic gardens, and even at a beachside art gallery."
"Free*, informal and fun each hour-long concert features three or four choirs singing a diverse range of musical styles in intimate and epic settings. "
These are supposed to be FREE – ours is, well it’s at MOTAT –(NOT the main site – the Aviation Hall, 98 Motions Rd, Western Springs) -
FREE for Seniors/Gold Card - adults, $19 - everyone else - students, children, overseas seniors $10 (this is ENTRY to MOTAT - needed for this venue)
Not much of a “friendly” KIWI greetings to world, to the *people* in these international choirs – FIRST DAY of ‘games’. Their FIRST experience – singing in a – vast, cold EMPTY space…
("who is going to be there" we asked, friends & family, & “whoever will be at MOTAT on the day” – IF they even know about this…. )
So – if you are free tomorrow – we would LOVE to see you –
Super Gold card members – IS FREE – for you –
Adults - $19 – (bargain!) – children/students/overseas seniors - $10
Again – KIWI SENIORS – FREE –

This has been harvested from hives placed on agricultural land – this is largely from nectar out of Clover and Squash (like pumpkin) flowers. The honey is a dark color and has a rich treacle-like flavor to it. Honey has some crystals in it but it is mainly runny.
Comb honey real novelty for many people – this is the natural form of honey, just as the bees make it. Honeybees build comb cells out of wax to store honey in, covering it over with more wax once the honey is ready. The wax is safe to eat but it does get stuck in your teeth – so many people spit that out!
$15 each. Usual discounts apply as per potted honey. Special discount of 4x comb honeys for $50. These weigh between 300-340g each.
Produced by another beekeeper and brought to you by Don Buck Honey!
Order online or get in touch with me. Pickups are from Massey, or orders can be couriered to you.
