Mighty River Harmony Wants Singers
We are a men’s chorus that sings in close four-part harmony without accompaniment. We embrace a wide range of song types from Beatles to Eagles and Elvis to Coldplay along with some Kiwi music. Sometimes we sing in the traditional barbershop style; often we use modern arrangements of popular songs.
Mighty River Harmony is part of Barbershop Harmony NZ and one of twelve Kiwi choruses that are affiliated to Barbershop Harmony International. Newcomers are very welcome and at present we are particularly looking for melody singers (tenor range). Full training and support are available. We strongly value our fellowship and sense of fun, and love to sing to audiences large and small. If you are interested, talk to us!

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!
