Free music around Hamilton this weekend
A man who makes handcrafted metal guitars and a 12-year-old performer will be part of the Fête de la Musique (World Music Day) in Hamilton this weekend.
Roger McLay moved from hobby tinkerer to steel resonator maker about two-and-a-half years ago and has made about 16 guitars in that time.
Sean Lurman is the youngest member of the Hamilton Blues Society, and his playing has made a few jaws drop.

Some Choice News!
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!
