Share your New Zealand music memories...
It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.
Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.
In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.

TAPAC Children's School Holiday Show - The Bubbles and Mustard Show!
Coming off the success of our April school holiday show, we are thrilled to announce that tickets are now on sale for our July school holiday show - The Bubbles and Mustard Show!
Peppy tour guide Olive Olsen is ready to conduct a tour of the radio studio where the Bubbles and Mustard show is recorded. But no one seems to be around. The crew have all fallen sick and there is no-one to do the show! The studio boss, Mr Maximillion Montgomery the Third is very, very, very unhappy but as the studio has never missed an episode yet – the show must go on! It's up to the audience to join in the mayhem and help create all the sound effects for an episode of The Bubbles and Mustard Show!

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
