Sisters In Country & Marian Burns Unveil NZ Concerts & Exclusive "Harmony Road" Australian Tour
Get ready for an afternoon of unparalleled country music as the acclaimed duo Sisters in Country, featuring New Zealand music legends Jodi Vaughan and Aly Cook, take the stage. They will be joined by special guest and fiddle player extraordinaire, Marian Burns, for two not-to-be-missed events this winter, celebrating their vibrant live show and the success of their recently recorded album, Downunder Girls.
Whangamata Performance:
Tauranga Performance:
Sisters in Country brings together two formidable talents: Jodi Vaughan, a household name who graced TV screens across New Zealand in the 80s on 'That's Country,' and Aly Cook, an award-winning songwriter and artist. Individually and collectively, their music has consistently topped Australian airplay charts and the Official Aotearoa Music Charts in New Zealand, earning them a devoted fanbase and solidifying their status as chart-topping artists.
This dynamic collaboration promises an enchanting afternoon filled with your favourite country tunes, alongside their own incredible original songs. The performance will be further elevated by the addition of Marian Burns, whose exceptional fiddle playing is sure to captivate the audience. Expect an unforgettable blend of rich female harmonies and some truly hot fiddle playing that will get your toes tapping.
"We are incredibly excited to bring our show to Whangamata in July and Tauranga in August and share the stage with our dear friend Marian Burns," says Jodi Vaughan. Aly Cook adds, 'It's going to be a fantastic afternoon of music, stories, and genuine country spirit. We can't wait to connect with everyone.'
The Sisters in Country duo, comprised of Cook, 61, and Vaughan, 75, are proud to be mature women performing live and continue their pursuit of mastery of their craft. In an industry often perceived as youth-driven, they not only defy expectations but wholeheartedly celebrate their seasoned artistry and enduring passion. Their success is a testament to the fact that talent and authenticity only deepen with age, and they are truly masters of their craft. They even have a playful rule for selecting guest female performers to join them: "The rule," jokes Vaughan, "is you must be over 50 to be invited as a guest." Cook adds, "And we don't mean kilos!" This is exactly the kind of wit you get during the show.
They will also be having the wonder and respected vocalist Rosemarie Hack as Sisters in Country guest at 2 Managahu/orHowhenua locations in July

Equestrian Sports New Zealand Hall Of Fame Awards Winners Announced For 2025
27 June Equestrian Sports New Zealand's 75th Anniversary Dinner played host to the sports organisation's Hall of Fame Awards held in the Banquet Hall at Parliament Buildings tonight. Approximately 260 guests celebrated 75 years of equestrian sports in New Zealand since the organisation's inception as the Horse Society of New Zealand on 14 July, 1950. This year's awards were presented along with the latest Hall of Fame inductees, and others who have made an outstanding contribution to ESNZ and the sport during the past years, were announced. Special guests included founder of the Catwalk Trust Dame Catriona Williams and husband Sam, ESNZ Patron Jennifer Millar, former ESNZ CEOs Justine Kidd, Vicki Glynn and Dana Kirkpatrick now National MP (Gisborne), Sport NZ Relationship Manager Karin Adlinger-Smith and Group General Manager Strategy, Policy and Investment Julie Morrison, NZ Pony Club CEO Lizzie Turnbull and Riding for the Disabled CEO Donna Kennedy. Riders from throughout the ages, including Olympians Blyth Tait and Tinks Pottinger, took part in a series of 'fireside chats' to reflect on the past 75 years of equestrian sports. Here are the award winners: 2025 ESNZ RIDER OF THE YEAR: Melissa Galloway (Dressage). Marlborough rider Melissa represented NZL at the Olympic Games 2024, on the only Southern Hemisphere and New Zealand bred horse in the field of 60 competitors. 2025 ESNZ HORSE OF THE YEAR – INTERNATIONAL: Showcase BC (owners Frankie Webb & Louise Duncan). Showcase BC is a 15-year-old warmblood bred by Beachcroft Equestrian of Waitoki, Auckland. In just two years this horse developed all the skills of a 'para-equestrian pony' learning to work with Levin para-equestrian rider Louise Duncan (see Against All Odds Award). They went on to compete in the 2024 Paris Paralympics, and were placed 13th in the Grand Prix. 2025 ESNZ HORSE OF THE YEAR – NATIONAL: LT Holst Freda (owners Julie Davey & Andrew Ormond). Ridden by Hastings rider Julie Davey, LT Holst Freda is the winner of the Olympic Cup Horse of the Year 2025 and the New Zealand World Cup series for 2024-25 over 4 rounds. Freda is the daughter of the mare LT Holst Andrea and together they have established a NZ record as the first mother and daughter horse duo to achieve both these titles. 2025 ESNZ TEAM OF THE YEAR: 2024 FEI Dressage World Challenge Helen Hughes-Keen (Chef d'Equipe), Katy Payne (Dragonbach Master Reilly), Paige Fitzgerald (Greenmoor Euphoria), Amanda Macpherson (Friden Star) and Samantha Belsham (Dolcetto II). This national team of members were placed 1st, 5th,11th and 16th in the world, where there were up to 107 starters. Their training and focus demonstrated excellent work as individuals, leading up to the event, as they were named just one day before the competition, in line with the competition rules. 2025 ESNZ AGAINST ALL ODDS: Louise Duncan (Para-Equestrian). At age 17, Levin rider Louise contracted the potentially-fatal disease of meningitis, suffered a stroke and was left partially paralysed. She was told she would never ride again but her determination led her to overcome that fate against all odds. Louise fought back and went on to become an FEI grade IV para-equestrian (profile 26a) which recognises severe impairment or deficiencies of both limbs or moderate impairment in all four limbs. Louise and her horse Showcase BC represented NZ at the 2024 Paris Paralympics and finished 13thin the Individual Grand Prix. They also won Champion & Reserve National Para Dressage Champion at the Webb Equestrian Para Dressage Nationals. Special Recognition was given to Jesse Campbell (Eventing). Jesse Campbell faced the loss of his wife in a tragic accident just over a year ago at an Event in the UK. With time, Jesse was able to use the memory of his wife as a motivator to pursue his eventing dreams, returning to competition just 3 months later to compete four horses in the CCI3* & CCI4* at Alnwick. He also debuted at Burghley Horse Trials and finished a very credible 21st place, crossing through the finish flags as he blew a kiss to the sky in recognition of his late wife Georgie. Special Recognition was also given to Clarke Johnstone (Eventing). Clarke tragically lost his partner Cody in an accident on New Year's Eve 2023/2024 while on holiday. Clarke displayed resilience when he returned to their home in the UK and continued the pursuit of his dream alone. Clarke's sheer determination and talent saw him succeed throughout the Northern Hemisphere season and become selected for the NZ Olympic team, where he produced a spectacular 25.7 dressage score, adding only 4.8 time faults in the cross country and just 1 rail down in each of the two SJ rounds. 2025 ESNZ GROOM OF THE YEAR: Madison (Madi) Schollum (Dressage). Based in West Auckland, Madi has devoted four years of her career to Team Williamson, a facility co-owned by Grand Prix Dressage Rider Wendi Williamson and husband Jon. There are 30 horses, with 15 in active training. Madi is herself a successful international rider, and understands well the physical demands of caring for horses in high-level training. THE PILMER PLATE – ESNZ LIFETIMEVOLUNTEER/OFFICIALS AWARD: Wendy Farnell (Endurance). Waitaki equestrian Wendy is a 3* judge, technical delegate and steward, and has been instrumental in bringing the sport of Endurance and Competitive Trail Riding together. Wendy is the go-to person for entries throughout the country, the vet gate at all lower South Island rides, as well as all three Championships and two non-championship FEI rides throughout the country. ESNZ YOUNG PERSON OF THE YEAR AWARDS FOR 2025 Dressage Young Person of the Year is Paige Fitzgerald. From Canterbury, Paige and Greenmoor Euphoria are winners of the 2025 Dressage Pony of the Year and National Title Trophy at Horse of the Year, and the FEI Dressage Pony Challenge at the Bates National Championships. Paige has also set the standard for the Youth section of the FEI Dressage World Challenge Youth World Rankings where she was ranked 2nd in 2022 and 2023, and 1st in 2024. Paige will represent the Dressage Youth Council at the 2025 Dressage Conference this weekend. Eventing Young Person of the Year is Charlotte Penny. From Karaka in South Auckland, Charlotte has excelled from competing at 95cm to being one of NZ's most successful riders nationally. Charlotte and Festival are winner of the 2025 Horse of the Year CCI4*. Together they were able to produce the fastest cross country time getting closest to the optimum time around a course, which is notoriously difficult to achieve. The duo placed 4that the 2024 Sydney CCI3* and 2nd at the Taupo CCI4*. Jumping Young Person of the Year is Johanna Wylaars. At just 18 yrs old, Christchurch's Johanna has represented NZ five times in the Trans-Tasman Young Rider teams. She was the joint winner of the 2024 Horse of the Year Young Rider of the Year and has produced a number of horses herself, including those winning the National Six & Seven year old series this year.

International Circus Extravaganza Debuts In Tauranga, Taranaki And The Hawke's Bay
An international, high-profile circus spectacle will be coming to NZ this year for the first time, taking to the stage in three provincial cities. Cirque Bon Bon, which has been likened to Cirque du Soleil, is set to delight the crowds in Taranaki, Tauranga, and Hawke's Bay thanks to a collaboration between three leading Arts Festivals - Reimagine Festival (Taranaki), Tauranga Arts Festival, and Hawke's Bay Arts Festival. The just-announced NZ visit, in October, will be hot on the heels of sold-out tours in Australia, where this talented circus troupe thrilled multi-generational audiences. Tauranga Arts Festival General Manager Sarah Cotter says there's great excitement wrapped around this festival offering as Cirque Bon Bon is a high-octane international act featuring a fusion of circus, dance and comedy. Plus, it's suitable for all ages. 'Get your tickets now and start getting excited as Cirque Bon Bon will burst on the stage to deliver an extravaganza of mind-bending contortion, sensational dancers, gravity-defying acrobatic stunts and more than a few laughs. Tauranga, Taranaki and Hawke's Bay - and visitors to those areas - should prepare to be wowed,' Sarah enthuses. Cirque Bon Bon has been likened to Cirque du Soleil for good reason. It has been created by former Cirque du Soleil director Ash Jacks and choreographer Julieann Nugent. In the words of Ash: 'We've used every last trick in the book to make this show something you just can't look away from.' The excited Tauranga, Taranaki and Hawke's Bay arts festival organisers say in the past people from the provinces had travelled to the bigger cities to see circus spectacles. Now the magic is coming to their cities. Cirque Bon Bon will be hosted by the 'outrageously funny' Mario, Queen of the Circus. Under his watch, daring skill will blend with striking style in a fast-paced celebration of what's been described as 'a celebration of beauty and bravery with a killer soundtrack and breathtaking visuals'. Cirque Bon Bon will feature first in Taranaki on October 9-12 at TSB Showplace. Tickets are available at: and Eventfinda. This will be followed by the Hawke's Bay on October 17,18 at Toi Toi: Hawke's Bay Arts & Events Centre, with tickets available from or via EventFinda.

Country Artist Ben Mastwyk Releases Let Me At The Night, The Title-Track From His New Album
Ben Mastwyk, the Australian cosmic cowboy and interstellar troubadour, is fast approaching launch time for the release of his fourth album, Let Me At The Night, on July 18th. Mastwyk's latest single is the title track, a heartfelt country power ballad that captures the restless spirit of someone yearning to break free from isolation and return to the vibrant nightlife they once knew. Ultimately, it's about the human need for connection, expression, and the freedom to pursue the experiences that make us feel most alive. As Mastwyk explains, at its core, the soulful ' Let Me At The Night ' uses night as a metaphor for dreams, freedom, and the life the narrator desperately wants to return to. " The 'night' represents more than just evening hours—it embodies the energy, connection, and joy found in Melbourne's country music scene and in the broader expression of honky-tonk culture. The narrator's plea to be "let at the night" becomes a cry for permission to chase their dreams and break through the barriers holding them back. What emerges is both a love letter and a battle cry!" In the song, we follow the protagonist, trapped in isolation, vividly recalling the glory days of barroom dancing and late-night revelry. The verses, draped in acoustic guitar and pedal steel, paint intimate portraits of a tight-knit community—the dancers who came alive when the band played George Jones, the smokers gathering in the cold night air, the familiar faces in every local haunt. These memories stand in stark contrast to the present-day reality of sitting alone with just a guitar and a sleeping dog for company. Let Me At The Night is a bit of a fantasy record for Ben Mastwyk. He really discovered the DNA of his band The Millions over the last few records, and this time, they all wanted to push the boundaries. Mastwyk was lucky enough to receive funding through a Creative Victoria Creative Works grant, which allowed him to really lean in and record the album he wanted to make, without cutting corners. Working with producer Michael Hubbard at The Shrimp Shack studio in Melbourne, Mastwyk initially set out to make a '90s country-inspired record—and in a way, he did. But instead of sticking strictly to that particular sonic palette, he found himself leaning back into the genre-bending, experimental approach he first explored with his original band in the actual '90s. " It's still a country record in my eyes: narrative-based songs that explore the themes I've been circling in my writing for years," he says. " But we've really dialled up the experimentalism—pushed our sonic palette further than we ever have before!" The songs are more anthemic—designed to kick the party off right from the get-go and sustain that energy till the end (and beyond). Mastwyk recently got the chance to test this new material live at the Tamworth Country Music Festival across three huge nights. And it worked. Big party energy. A crowd ready to rumble! " Each time I've made a record, I've had a space and an audience in mind. My first album Mornin' Evenin' was written for small rooms, intimate spaces, and quiet Sunday mornings. The next couple were made for Melbourne barrooms—the venues I was in love with at the time. This album, though, was written with festivals and bigger crowds in mind." With a thematic arc that runs across the album, it picks up where the last few records left off, in the barroom, then blasts off further and further into space. " I've always visualised this album as a spaceship—with the whole point being to see if I can get it to lift off and hit warp speed." From hot-wired boogie to rhinestone pop, honky-tonk electronic disco to country space-ballads, Shania to Yoakam, George Jones to Orville Peck – the new album serves as a kaleidoscopic ode to the possibilities of country music. Filtered through both heartache and the dance floor, it's a truly mind-expanding and irresistible collection of songs, from an artist firing on all creative cylinders.
