Hobnail at the Ruby Bay Store
The road up the Bluff is closed, but Stafford Drive is open to the Ruby Bay Store and Ruby Bay Kitchen. Come along for music starting 4pm Sunday 13 July. The Store opens from 3pm.
Hobnail are three time finalists at the New Zealand Music Awards (Best Folk Album and Best Country Song twice). They celebrated 30 years of active service in 2024, and now in 2025 are touring across New Zealand with their new album by core members Rob Joass (vocals, guitar, mandola) Jo Moir (vocals, violin) and Hamish Graham (vocals, guitars, percussion). The album features reworked versions of some of their much loved originals as well as some crowd favourite Kiwi and Australian cover versions. These songs highlight the vocal and instrumental interplay between these three exceptional musicians. 'Refreshingly down-to-earth, and lovely with vocals so tightly knit they could be family.' Mike Alexander, NZ Herald.
With“Jo Moir’s barnstorming fiddle”, great songs and spectacular harmonies, Hobnail’s live show will make your heart sing!

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
