Doubtful Sounds choir here next weekend - 3 performances

Wellington's funkiest little choir, The Doubtful Sounds, is blowing into Wairarapa: The Doubtfuls, which specialises in pop songs with a classical twist, will perform three gigs in September, in Martinborough, Masterton and Stonehenge Aotearoa.
(all shows set up for L2 arrangements) You'll hear everything from Sam Cooke standards, through to Elton John classics, along with more recent hits from Radiohead, Elbow, Shaed, and New Zealand's own Aldous Harding.

As well as shows in Martinborough and Masterton at Aratoi, the choir will test the unique acoustic of Stonehenge Aotearoa, with a special gig under the stars, starting at 7pm on Saturday night.

Martinborough Hall; Saturday Sept 5th, 2pm
Stonehenge Aotearoa; Sat Sept 5th, 7pm (Under the Milky Way)
Aratoi Gallery, Masterton, Sunday, Sept 6th, 2pm.

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.
