Mighty River Harmony Wants Singers
We are a men’s chorus that sings in close four-part harmony without accompaniment. We embrace a wide range of song types from Beatles to Eagles and Elvis to Coldplay along with some Kiwi music. Sometimes we sing in the traditional barbershop style; often we use modern arrangements of popular songs.
Mighty River Harmony is part of Barbershop Harmony NZ and one of twelve Kiwi choruses that are affiliated to Barbershop Harmony International. Newcomers are very welcome and at present we are particularly looking for melody singers (tenor range). Full training and support are available. We strongly value our fellowship and sense of fun, and love to sing to audiences large and small. If you are interested, talk to us!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
