The Warratahs at Carterton Events Centre Sat 22nd July

One of Wairarapa’s all time favourite winter warmer gigs is back: The Warratahs.
For an incredible 37 years, this band has extensively toured New Zealand, along the way picking up Country Album of The Year at the Tui Music Awards in 2017, and releasing 7 charting studio albums.
Two new songs from Barry Saunders, namely ‘Goin’ Up North’ and ‘Silver Train’, will feature at the Carterton show, along with the many other songs of Barry’s that are permanent entries in the New Zealand Song Book.
The Warratahs are so much a part of the landscape, you might hear the odd cover but really, it’s the sound that The Warratahs have made their own and it’s become part of the NZ landscape. Poetic lyrics skidding along on an exciting blend of accordion, fiddle, drums, and guitar. Don't miss The Warratahs, Carterton Events Centre
this Saturday 22nd July 8pm Tickets available at:

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
