Don't miss the Zimmermans (Bob Dylan Band) at Cobblestones on Sunday

Enjoy a relaxed Sunday afternoon of Music on the Green at Cobblestones in Greytown on Sunday from 4pm.The Zimmermans, an eight piece power band play all Bob Dylan music in a stunning two hour show. Supported by Dragonfly up and coming local band. Cash bar for beer and wine as well as delicious food including sausage sizzle, ham rolls, cheese platters, berries with ice cream or bring your own picnic.

The Zimmermans have recently toured the North Island and brought the house down at every concert. One of the band's founders, Paddy Burgin, Says: From his early folk days through the periods of electric blues and rock to the more reflective later songs the Zimmermans tackle everything with a full compliment of guitars, drums, bass, keyboards, brass and – of course a harmonica.

The big band is made up of former players from the Mockers, Let’s Planet, the Wooden Box Band, and the Sneaky Feelings. Paddy Burgin said “ Bob Dylan can often be seen as a mysterious chameleon like character but his contribution to recent music history is unequalled by any other single musician.”

“So many of his great songs have been covered by others that people at our shows often find themselves singing along to a chorus they didn’t even know was written by Dylan.” “We dig deep into a few of the more obscure compositions by the master but of course there are some absolute Dylan bangers you could not get away with avoiding.”

While Dylan’s heyday may have been the sixties and seventies the Zimmermans are always surprised at the number of younger people enjoying their gigsA superb evening of barnstorming, live music with The Zimmermans - don't miss out - get your tickets now to avoid the queue on Sunday afternoon/evening.
Tickets from Eventfinda, the Masterton or Martinborough I-SITE Visitor Centres or from the Cobblestones front desk. Cash bar and delicious food for sale.

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)
