Best folk artists
Tennessee-based New Zealand duo Tattletale Saints have again been judged New Zealand s best folk artists of the year. The decision was announced on Sunday, January 31, at the Auckland Folk Festival. The award is the 2021 Tūī for Te Kapuoro Taketake Toa. It s the second time Cy Winstanley and Vanessa McGowan have won it - the first was in 2014. They have often performed in Whanganui because Vanessa s father, John McGowan, lives here. Full story here

This weekend marks Auckland Anniversary Day, which is also celebrated in Northland, Waikato, the Bay of Plenty and Gisborne.
