Pohutukawa Singers Concert
The Pohutukawa Singers are delighted to announce two performances of their upcoming mid-year concert.
Titled 'Sing Today', the programme features our usual eclectic mix of songs spanning a variety of music genres. From Mozart to Queen, from Bernstein to Adele and much more, our repertoire reflects the wide range of musical tastes among our singers and audience members alike.
Our special guest artist for both performances is jazz saxophonist Iggy Palmero Epstein. Iggy is a music student at Massey High School and gained an NCEA Scholarship in Music (Performance) in 2021. He has a keen interest in everything musical with a special passion for the saxophone and jazz. He plays in a few jazz and fusion bands and welcomes every opportunity he gets to play. We are excited and grateful to have him as our guest performer.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
