Some of the greatest artists of all time lead to fanatical adoration, frenzied fans and even panty throwing!
Iconic New Zealand artists like Suzanne Lynch (The Chicks) and Pat Urlich (Peking Man) will be joined by Operatunity’s favourite core artist Bonnie & Karl. We are in for a shaking, rattling and rolling good time! With songs from the likes of Elvis, Connie Francis, Bill Hayley and the Comets and more!

This enables our unpaid volunteers to do our important work in the community. Recently we've had around $80 worth of compost taken without payment, which is very disappointing. If you took some compost recently and forgot to pay for it, or didn't have the correct change, please pop the money into the little red bucket, which is there for the purpose and very visible, next time you're going past. We've seen some of the people responsible for taking bags without paying, two of them appeared to be very respectable looking people. The area is under surveillance, and future offenders run the risk of being named and shamed. Thank you to all our customers who DO pay for their compost, your honestly is very much appreciated.
