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.

An opportunity for local businesses
Henderson Bowling Club is fast approaching their 100 year milestone. We host member bowling tournaments, open tournaments and Auckland Bowls events that attract a wide range of people to our facilities. We also run social bowls events for local businesses and individuals. Our sport attracts people of different ages, ethnic groups and genders - and this is your opportunity to get you business name in front of them.
We have an opportunity for any businesses that want to get their name / logo / contact number in front of the people who use our Club. This not only raises awareness of you and your services but sends a clear signal that you support the local community in West Auckland.
For a one off payment of $500, you can claim a spot on one of our scoreboards for 5 years.
And let’s face it whether you’re bowling in competitions or socially, the scoreboard gets a lot of attention.
For any further information please contact me through Neighbourly or via the Henderson Bowls Facebook page.
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!
