Locals with a taste for theatre are welcome to experience one of Aotearoa’s sexiest musical dramas, Kōpū, on June 26 in Whangārei. Kōpū is a cheeky ballad that shares the song of young wāhine Māori as they navigate this world and follow in the footsteps of naughty nannies from the kāuta. The audience will be treated to a spectacle of multi-talented performers weaving live music into their performance, poetry, and poi skills to share a hilarious, honest and no-holds-barred account of their experiences of wāhinetanga. The show will be at Capitaine Bougainville Theatre, Forum North from 7pm to 8.15pm.
Far North AGM
Far North Mayor Moko Tepania is set to address the Vision Kerikeri annual general meeting on June 22. Tepania will talk about a number of topics, including major issues facing Far North District Council and how to solve them, along with funding essential services. The AGM will be held at 2pm at St John Hall on Kerikeri Rd. A koha would be appreciated.
