Iconic New Zealand artists like Suzanne Lynch (The Chicks) and Pat Urlich (Peking Man) will be joined by Operatunity’s favourite core artist Bonnie & Karl. We are in for a shaking, rattling and rolling good time! With songs from the likes of Elvis, Connie Francis, Bill Hayley and the Comets and more!

Did you know that three families lose a loved one to suicide every two days? You can help change this by donating to Mike King's work.

The current “harden up, stay staunch and let’s not talk about it” attitude is a problem. By changing this attitude, lives will be saved. Every dollar raised enables Mike to continue his vital work with communities across NZ.

The Appliance Shed is leading a fundraising campaign to support Mike King's Key To Life Trust. Read more about the long-standing relationship Appliance Shed has with Mike King here

The Key to Life Trust equips our nation's young people to check in on their mates and remind them it’s okay to ask for help. It’s important we all feel valued and know that someone has our backs when times are tough. Please donate and make a difference in your community.

Thank you for your support!

Monty Bevins is a New Zealand based singer-songwriter.

He is known as a gifted, soulful performer whose songs ask the big questions while telling the small stories. Perpetually touring, Bevins has built a loyal following throughout his homeland where he plays everywhere from packed halls in isolated towns to festival stages and bars in the big city

There’s a reason why people keep coming back again and again to see Bevins perform; he’s an authentic musician with bloody good songs.

"I was pleasantly surprised with his obviously honed and crafted live performance, as he effortlessly intertwined elements of folk, roots and soul together.”

Poppy Tohill, 13th floor.


"Monty is the real deal; a genuine and gifted muso with songs you want to hear again

and again"

James Kenyon, Australia



Doors open at 7pm music starts 7.30.



Tickets can be booked directly by visiting Hokitika's Regent Theatre or calling them on 03 755 8101 or online ticketing.oz.veezi.com...

How will you be celebrating National Volunteer Week next month?

National Volunteer Week (17-23 of June 2018)
celebrates the 1.2 million Kiwis who are volunteering their time and skills to our communities every year.

The theme this year is Volunteers, The Heart of our Community – By many, the work will be completed, Mā tini, mā mano, ka rapa te whai.

We think this captures the essence of what volunteering is about. This is a time to acknowledge how volunteering efforts contribute to and enrich all communities within Aotearoa.

Would you give up your home for a life on the road? When Lynette and John Valk sold their three-bedroom home in Blenheim to live in a nine-metre motorhome and explore New Zealand, it was easier than they thought, and they don't regret a thing.

"We have seen so many hidden gems of New Zealand that we would never have seen if we were still living in a house," says Lynette.

Does the idea of selling up to make a big life change appeal to you? What changes would you like to make?
