Top reckons from a top journalist from a year ago... @nzherald.bsky.social

Were they wearing their patches? Time they were banned

Ōtautahi peeps, check out the JazzUp Jazz Jam. We have some amazing local talent.

We're into our 4th year. This Tuesday 4 Feb 7pm, we kick off 2025.

No cover charge, get a drink at the bar, be surprised and often dazzled. At Good Times Comedy Club, 224 St Asaph Street.

Do your job @rnz.co.nz.web.brid.gy @stuff.co.nz @nzherald.bsky.social. If i can get under Seymour's skin surely you can at least ask questions. My email exchange with Seymour yesterday attached here

5 years ago, the people of Gaza stood in solidarity with Ōtautahi Christchurch

Picking upon a phrase Efeso used... "it's expensive to be poor". This is true. Just one example, the way mobile phone charges for data per Mb are way way way more expensive if you can only afford $5 for more data. Can you suggest other examples? /8

We discussed the words of a song Drew sang the day before he died in 2021, leading worship athis church in Wellington. This was Efeso's last message to me.. /5

I'm a pasty white guy from Ōtautahi and I had the rare privilege of knowing Efeso Collins. My wife and I and another Samoan friend stayed with his family for 2 nights in their state house in Otara in 1998. Here we are, Efeso on the left at Denny's, Efeso out front leading the worship band /1

In Ōtautahi today unexpectedly holding up a sign handed to me by an unknown fellow protester ... the message is spot-on

It's Christmas Day and that means busting out the flat-5s and sharp-11s for jazz carols at St Augustine’s on Cracroft Tce in Cashmere at 10am

Flying out of Tāmaki Makaurau back home to Ōtautahi last night
