👏 Have you checked out the Encore! exhibition at the Central City Library?

It's a chance to explore how live music has shaped central Tāmaki Makaurau from iconic venues, unforgettable performances and the musicians and audiences who were there.

The exhibition has even been extended outside to celebrate the St James Theatre's heritage along its hoardings on Lorne Street.

It's totally free and on until 29 August.
