The Warratahs at Carterton Events Centre Sat 22nd July
One of Wairarapa’s all time favourite winter warmer gigs is back: The Warratahs.
For an incredible 37 years, this band has extensively toured New Zealand, along the way picking up Country Album of The Year at the Tui Music Awards in 2017, and releasing 7 charting studio albums.
Two new songs from Barry Saunders, namely ‘Goin’ Up North’ and ‘Silver Train’, will feature at the Carterton show, along with the many other songs of Barry’s that are permanent entries in the New Zealand Song Book.
The Warratahs are so much a part of the landscape, you might hear the odd cover but really, it’s the sound that The Warratahs have made their own and it’s become part of the NZ landscape. Poetic lyrics skidding along on an exciting blend of accordion, fiddle, drums, and guitar. Don't miss The Warratahs, Carterton Events Centre
this Saturday 22nd July 8pm Tickets available at:

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
