Koraunui Ukulele 2023
2023 has been a great year for our team. We performed the last of our 4 concert Christmas roadshow at Shona McFarlane retirement village on Saturday. Our last gig of the year is Queensgate Mall @ 1.30pm on Saturday 23 December. This year we performed 18 live concerts including Māori waiata concerts. We have uploaded a dozen YouTube videos and wrote and uploaded several original songs. We definitely lived up to our motto 'Performing Arts, not hiding in a hall art'. The once shy, I can't, were left behind for I can, I have, sure why not. Our team wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. Cheers...DJ Pomare
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
