The Wellington Advent Calendar… it's back!

The capital is once again celebrating the Christmas season with its famous online advent calendar, providing treats for residents and visitors alike. Much like your usual advent calendar, each day of December leading up to Christmas promises a new Wellington treat to be revealed. Treats include discount vouchers, two for one deals and exclusive offers. Positively Wellington Tourism (PWT) launched The Wondrous Wellington Advent Calendar at the beginning of the month after receiving much positive feedback on previous advent calendars.

The Black Seeds invite you to sing on their album

For the past 12 months, Wellingtonian band The Black Seeds have been working away on their fifth studio album – but close as they are to finishing, they can't complete it without your help. The Black Seeds are using social media to gather vocalists for one of their new songs, 'Pippy Pip'. Putting out the word on Facebook, Twitter and their website, the music group have asked their fans to record themselves singing and upload it to be used in the song. Anyone from anywhere with a web cam, headphones and an internet connection can collaborate with these multi platinum-selling musicians – why not give it a go yourself?
