NB: May-June 2018

Get ready for music, community art, coffee... oh, and a dog. there's more going on in May than words can say - check out What's On for a taste of what's coming up. We celebrate our writers of different stripes this issue, with the arrival of New Zealand Music Month in May, and the launch of a new Radio Play in June. Plus the inventor of the 10-piece suit has us in stitches during iD Fashion Week.  It's a veritable smorgasbord!
