Hoping you might pay it forward...
It's NZ music month and we are fundraising to bring a very special concert to Hamilton. Celebrating NZ's wildlife and wild places, in the centenary year of iconic conservation organisation, Forest & Bird, this is an opportunity for a very special concert. We've performed in Auckland, Wanaka and Christchurch (photos from Wanaka) - let's get this to Hamilton. Featuring leading musicians and especially written music, it also features stunning imagery and lighting. If you could spare us a few dollars - perhaps the cost of a coffee - any amount is greatly appreciated. See our fundraiser at the link.
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Do you take alternative milk in your coffee?
The days of paying extra for is over at Wild Bean cafe but don’t expect your favourite city espresso haunt to follow their lead any time soon.
BP Australia and New Zealand took a “plant-based milk now at no extra cost” stance earlier this month as customers opting for the dairy alternatives tripled between 2017 and 2019.
Are you fascinated by fossils?
Bones, teeth and other fossilised animal remains that have taken nearly 25 years to collect will soon be displayed in Hamilton.
City man Vance Smith has amassed about $15,000 worth of fossils and is opening a museum-shop in Frankton in May to share his passion.
