Join us to celebrate PRIDE2020 and our Pūkana: Moments in Māori Performance exhibition.
The In the Vault series born in 2019 presents new and classic music from Aotearoa, supporting young and upcoming and reliving some of the old school sounds.
Our very special PRIDE2020 line up has all the colours of the rainbow with Pere Wihongi who blends old school Māori soul with a New Orleans jazz vibe, Valkyrie’s big power anthems and ‘sounds inspired by the ancients’ and Pōneke singer/songwriter Callan James.
Refreshments will be available
Pere Wihongi (Te Rarawa/Ngā Puhi/Ngāti Kuri/Ngāti Wai) is founding member and co-manager of Māoridom’s current singing sensation ‘Maimoa’.
Valkyrie, New Zealand’s first anthemic theatrical band exploded on to the stage with big power anthems and sounds inspired by the ancients. Described as Pop/Rock or Dark Pop their style is daring, bold and visually pushes boundaries. However they've never been short of capturing the audience’s hearts with their more beautiful slower songs and acoustic performances
Callan James is a singer / songwriter from Porirua whose unique R&B and soul will captivate you.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
