Harmony Waikato Spectacular

Richard from Cambridge

Thrill to the amazing sound of three of New Zealand's leading choruses plus our top quartets, all singing in four-part harmony. The rich male voices of Mighty River Harmony, the sparkle of the mixed youth chorus Manu Manu Mātātahi , and the dazzle of the Waikato Rivertones Women's chorus - each has won medals in competitions. As well, gold medal men's and women's quartets, including national winners The Usual Suspects and Unlimited, will entertain along with superb new mixed quartets.

Late in September they compete again in the Barbershop Harmony NZ Convention in Wellington. This is their chance to entertain you with their competition songs in preparation for the contest.

"I was blown away - I didn't know we had such talent in the Waikato" is a typical comment from audience members after previous shows. Don't miss this one!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
