Sunshine, gardens and song - tomorrow!
From the opera houses in Europe to the Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival, we are thrilled to announce that baritone James Ioelu will sing tomorrow (6.30pm) in 'Finding the Right Note' -
Covid may not have many silver linings, but this is definitely one of them! A former winner of the New Zealand Aria Competition and the New Zealand Young Performer of the Year, James is now based in the UK but has returned due to Covid. He trained at the Manhattan School of Music and attended the Merola Opera Program in San Francisco before joining the National Opera Studio in London. He has performed with many leading opera companies including the English National Opera, Glyndebourne Opera, Garsington Opera, Grimeborn Opera, and Birmingham Opera.
Get your tickets to hear James singing some of Janet Jennings, Composer's gorgeous music with rising soprano star Felicity Tomkins tomorrow, 6.30pm.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Walking path & not one facility I could find to give a dog a drink of water.
Council. I would like to suggest that a dog drinking post or two be erected, with a metal bowl below and a self stopping tap to top it up, to give fresh water to thirsty dogs who accompany their owners on this pathway. Perhaps a water fountain at the top for the owner as well. Thank you.
