Special Howick homecoming concert for John Hanlon

Phil from Farm Cove

East FM and The Lounge are proud to present a special concert: The legendary John Hanlon will be singing his songs and telling his story in the intimate setting of The Lounge – Howick’s best kept secret.
An Evening With a Songwriter – John Hanlon – Lounging Around at The Lounge, on Saturday November 19, is a unique event – a homecoming concert for Howick’s greatest and most successful songwriter.
Fifty years ago, John Hanlon, a young singer-songwriter from Howick, signed a record contract.
What followed was five stellar years in the limelight that included Top Ten hits – Lovely Lady, Damn the Dam, Higher Trails and Apple Wine, and two Double-Gold selling albums, Garden Fresh and Higher Trails, along with an impressive number of New Zealand music industry awards.
There have also been another seven John Hanlon albums since, including the recent and impressive Naked Truths.
Tickets are available at www.thelounge.nz...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
