Opportunity to win 2 CDs - 'Voices of Women' and 'Voices of Men'

The team from PACT (Performing Arts Community Trust)

Featuring well known and internationally recognised vocalists, these 2 CDs of new music by now Hamilton-based composer Janet Jennings are sure to delight anyone who likes opera, chamber music, or high quality music. Vocalists include Jayne Tankersley, Catrin Johnsson, Mere Boynton, Stephanie Acraman, Felicity Tomkins, James Ioelu, James Harrison and Will King. James Ioelu and James Harrison have returned to New Zealand after singing in the opera house of Europe and the UK.

Voices of Women features the words of NZ women as they tell of their struggles, experiences and humour. Voices of Men features the words of NZ men, and fittingly given it has just been released in time for ANZAC, includes 'Songs of War'.

To celebrate Mother's Day and the release of 'Voices of Men', the companion CD to 'Voices of Women', we are giving away a set of both CDs. The winner will be drawn on 8th May. You can enter at the link:

Poll: Do you think this is a good idea?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The city council’s keen to get a slice of big landowners’ capital gain from rezoned but unbuilt areas as it prepares for a potentially costly onslaught of fast-track projects.

Wary of new Government rules said to pose “very significant” growth-related risks when it’s already carefully counting dollars, city bean counters are on the hunt for “value capture” tools to help keep up with demand in the growing city.

Do you think this is a good idea? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
