Anatolia - Aotearoa, A Cross Cultural Classical Guitar Concert

Rendell McIntosh from Alberton

Mt Albert's local guitar maestro and nationally acclaimed composer Bruce Paine will be playing at Alberton next month! In a serene Sunday afternoon concert with Turkish classical guitarist Barkin Sertkaya the two musicians will play music from their homelands.

They will also debut a new piece composed by Paine, commemorating the victims and heroes of Christchurch mosque shootings. The piece starts with tragedy and sadness, transforming gently into a sense of hope and an uplifting of the heart, infusing Middle Eastern harmonies and rhythms with Western. This will certainly be something special and a highlight of the peformance.

Tickets include entry to explore the house and refreshments following the show.

'Anatolia - Aotearoa, A Cross Cultural Classical Guitar Concert'
Sunday 15 September, 4pm. Tickets $30 or purchase tickets before 1 September at the EARLYBIRD SPECIAL of $25. To book contact concert919@brucepaine.co.nz

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
