Free Concert for Folk Music Lovers

Hungry for some good old fashioned folk music with a modern twist? Then head on down to Hawera LibraryPlus on 12 March, at 1:30pm for a free concert from renowned American folk musicians, Hungrytown.

This is the first tour of New Zealand for husband and wife duo Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson, who tour full-time throughout the USA, Canada and Europe. The popular entertainers have an accomplished reputation. Their songs have been performed by many other artists, including Nashville song writing legend David Olney, bluegrass veterans the Virginia Ramblers and Hungrytown’s music has also appeared on several television shows. No wonder Hawera LibraryPlus leapt at the opportunity to be part of their 2013 New Zealand Tour.

Hungrytown’s style has been described as Americana inspired by English, Scottish and European folk music. Country JukeBox says, “the extremely talented singer/songwriter duo enjoy an exalted reputation among genre fans as modern representatives of traditions-based folk music.”

Don’t miss this opportunity for some free, high quality entertainment. Make your way to Hawera LibraryPlus, Tuesday 12 March at 1.30pm to see Hungrytown perform!

Arguably Reassuring: Inspector-General Finds GCSB "Arguably" Legal

Of the 88 individuals:

• 15 cases involving 22 individuals did not have any information intercepted by GCSB.

• another four cases involving five individuals were the subjects of a New Zealand Security Intelligence Service warrant and the GCSB assisted in the execution of the warrants. The Inspector-General is of the view that there were arguably no breaches and the law is unclear.

• the Bureau only provided technical assistance which did not involve interception of communications, involving three of the individuals, so no breach occurred.

• the remaining cases involved the collection of metadata, and the Inspector-General formed the view that there had arguably been no breach, noting once again that the law is unclear.
