South D’s got talent (and you can see it)

Posted by Clare Curran on October 30th, 2009

Here I am being parochial again. And trying to lighten things up a bit. After all, we shouldn’t always focus on what’s wrong. There’s lots to celebrate about our country and our communities. And South D (South Dunedin) is one such community.

A few week’s ago I raved about an event I helped organise called South Dunedin’s Got Talent. Well tonight, Dunedin’s very own Channel 9 TV station has a programme dedicated to that event. It starts at 8.30pm. Here’s the promo.

And for all you out-of-towners, it can be viewed online later. A highlight is the hip hop song South D’s got talent, by Joel Taniora, who wrote it especially for the event. He came second.

Go on, watch it. It might make you laugh, but it also might make you feel good for a minute about the wealth of talent there is out there. In our communities.

    Spud do you write for the “Standard” under another “name”
    You have a similar style to their writers
