    Dunedin band opening for Foo Fighters objected to by councillors

    A Dunedin high school band that will open for the Foo Fighters early next year says it's unlikely they'll play another gig organised by the city council. The band SEEK HELP! from Queen's High School is one of several young bands from the city's thriving music scene that played at New Year's Eve festivities in the CBD. Some councillors have objected to such a raucous punk band being hired in the first place, preferring dance classics to "get the crowd shaking their bits followed by the bag pipes and a new year countdown". Although bigger gigs are to come, the band says the experience has left them feeling undervalued and misrepresented. Adam Burns reports.

    Rescuer in fatal Dunedin flat crush recognised for his actions

    A man present at a deadly Dunedin student party in 2019 says the night is burned in his memory.

Samson was awarded a certificate of appreciation by Police Commissioner Richard Chambers in Dunedin this morning, who says his selfless actions prevented the tragic night from being so much worse.
