Love Tonight, becomes unexpected hit for Hutt Valley musician

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Ed Service, who lives in Lower Hutt, was ready to give up his dreams of being a professional musician two years ago.
It had been years since his project, Shouse, published any new music. The last single they released, Love Tonight, had a “lukewarm” reception, the Kiwi muso says.
For some reason, the single has unexpectedly shot out of obscurity. It caught Service by surprise.
In May, BBC dance music host Pete Tong added Love Tonight to his “essential new tunes for 2021” list, despite being released in 2017.
Since then it has taken off and he is expecting a big cheque soon

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.

It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.

Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
