Harmony Waikato Spectacular - Saturday 6th September
The Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts will host a feast of four-part harmony from the Waikato's best barbershop choruses and quartets. Mighty River Harmony is New Zealand's top men's chorus with strong vocals and powerful bass section. Manu Mātātahi is one of this country's leading mixed youth choruses with impressive, tight harmonies. The Waikato Rivertones women's chorus has won international praise for its spectacular performances. Quartets include gold medal winners The Usual Suspects along with Centreplace and Four Square.
Also on the programme (pictured below) are champion high school choruses - Heart Attack from Sacred Heart Girls' College, Espresso from Waikato Diocesan School for Girls, and Uptown Girls from Hamilton Girls High School, the top three Young Singers In Harmony choruses from our regional competition. And, if that isn't enough, the top two quartets, Dolcelatte and Tetris.
Come along and be impressed by truly high quality vocal musicianship with a distinctive Waikato flair – 7pm, Saturday 6th September at the Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts, University of Waikato. Tickets $35/$30 available from the Academy, and www.eventfinda.co.nz...

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

The Tenancy Tribunal has ordered two former tenants of the Inverness Ave property to pay $2,585.83 after their bond was applied to cover unpaid rent, cleaning, rubbish removal, lock changes and repairs.
