TUESDAY APRIL 1, 7:30PM
Everyone who works should earn a wage they can live off, but sadly that's not the case today- it's time to say enough!
Tens of thousands of workers work for less than the living wage, driving up poverty and meaning many families struggle to make ends meet. It doesn't need to be this way. Unfortunately, the government is only making things worse. The proposed increase in minimum wage this year is only 35 cents, which is well below inflation, meaning the poorest workers are getting a pay cut this year.
ENOUGH! Let's come together to Unite for a Living Wage. Join this action to show your support for workers fighting for a better future, and call on the Government and employers to take real action on poverty by making a serious increase to wages.
This free community meeting is open to all!!
So please if your free come along and bring others!
Hosted by Unite Union and with support form Unions Manawatu .
Representatives for the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand , New Zealand Labour Party and Te Pāti Māori will discuss their policies on:
- minimum wage and;
- the cost of living.
Along with a chance to answer some other worker related questions.
Please note that National, ACT, and NZ First have sent their apologies. We will also be informing all who attend about Unite for a Living Wage campaign and what this will be looking like.

Greg Johnson - Vine Street Stories 30th Anniversary
SUNDAY APRIL 27, 5:00PM
Show start time changed to 5pm on Sunday March 23rd. Notice sent to all ticket holders.
To coincide with the 30th Anniversary, Universal Music are releasing Vine Street Stories (1995) on vinyl for the first time, following on from the vinyl release this month of Johnson’s Seabreeze Motel (2000) double album.
The Vine Street Stories album is home to many of Johnson’s most enduring radio hits and live favourites, including Don’t Wait Another Day, You Stay Out Of Your Life, If I Swagger, Suddenly Cold, Come On, Let The Sun Beat Down, and Pleasure and Overdose.
The album was produced by Nigel Stone and largely recorded at Johnson’s long-time residence throughout the 1990s in Vine Street, St Mary’s Bay – a home in which he penned many of his most renowned songs, and hosted legendary parties which are still hazily talked about by the Auckland music scene today.
Says Johnson: “Digging deep in to the songs off Vine Street Stories is going to be a lot of fun, and it reminds me of those great years working hard and playing harder, before guitarist Ted Brown and I spread our wings with the move to the US.
“So many memories around the recording this album, including having to quickly brace the lounge floorboards from underneath, as they buckled under the weight of the grand piano rolled in to record If I Swagger.”
“This tour is a celebration, and alongside Vine Street Stories material we’ll throw in some other fan favourites as well. I can’t wait to see everyone again”.
Joining Greg on stage is his longtime bandmates; guitarist Ben King, drummer Wayne Bell, bassist Mark Hughes, and guest keyboardist Lisa Crawley returning from California.
Vine Street Stories is album number three of the 13 studio albums Johnson has released; a rich catalogue of much-loved by fans – including the critically-acclaimed recent releases, Tilt You Interior (2021) and Thunder In Fall (2024).

Wellington Comic Opera presents The McCardo
SUNDAY MAY 18, 2:00PM
In Wellington Comic Opera’s 2025 production of The McCardo, public servants and the British court system are lampooned in a colourful romp in which, ultimately, love triumphs over the obstacles strewn in its way. Familiar tunes like ‘The Sun Whose rays’, Tit Willow’, ‘A Wand’ring Minstrel I’ and ‘Three Little Maids from School are We’, will keep you smiling, and the absurdity of the familiar patter song, ‘I’ve Got a Little List’, will have you laughing out loud. Set in the Scottish Highlands, the main characters must negotiate the decrees of the clan chief McCardo, the machinations of the ‘Minister of Everything’, Pooh-Bah, and the incompetence of the newly appointed Lord High Executioner, Ko-Ko. Sparkling music and cutting wit from the enduring pens of WS Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan will carry you to a satisfying conclusion in which the ‘threatened cloud has passed away’ and everyone ‘with joyous shout’ can enjoy a brighter, happier future.

Chamber Music NZ - Four Last Songs
SUNDAY OCTOBER 12, 4:00PM
Composed in the year before his passing, the Four Last Songs are held by many to be Richard Strauss’ most beautiful, sensuous, and moving composition. They are songs of farewell and of gentle heartbreak. The words of the final song, Im Abendrot, speak of an elderly couple walking hand in hand, at rest from their wanderings, away from life. The final verse:
O weiter, stiller Friede! O vast and silent peace!
So tief im Abendrot So deep in sunset glow,
Wie sind wir wandermüde- How weary we are with wandering-
Ist dies etwa der Tod? Could this perhaps be death?
For this special premier performance, Salina Fisher has arranged the Four Last Songs for NZTrio and celebrated Australian soprano Emma Pearson.
