The Llama Lounge Presents: The Danberry's - in Parua Bay! - Saturday December 2nd.

Penny from Parua Bay / Whangarei Heads

We have a treat in store with a touring Nashville based Duo accompanied
by the lovely Vanessa McGowan who you may have caught as half of the
"Tattletale Saints" last year.


Described as "a rhythmically seductive and emotionally connecting band,"
The Danberrys are led by Tennessee-born couple of Ben DeBerry and
Dorothy Daniel - a truly unique pair of artists hailing from East
Nashville, Tennessee.

They've built a special indie-folk vibe around Dorothy's luxuriously
smoky voice and Ben's intricate acoustic guitar flatpicking, with a
sound drawing influences from Bluegrass, Country, Blues, and the
Funk/Soul traditions.

Performing as a trio with Vanessa McGowan (Tattletale Saints) on upright
bass, The Danberrys show takes the listener through the near limitless
nature of the Americana genre.

All three of the band's albums have been nominated for a number of
Independent Music Awards, including Best EP, two nominations for Best
Americana Album, and a recent 2016 win in the Best Bluegrass Song
category.

Book by call or txt to 021749406 $20
Door and Bar open at 7pm 2nd December
** CASH ONLY **
Mt Manaia Bowling Club 1341 Whangarei Heads Road, Parua Bay

I hope to see you there :-)

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
