Update on Six60 scholarship students

From Afternoons, 1:45 pm on 17 March 2023

The university year is in full swing and a group of four students at Otago Uni is settling into life at a pretty iconic address.

New flatties Tomuri Spicer, Hamish Waddell, Gabi Summerfield and Sam Meikle have taken up residence at 660 Castle Street - former home to the band Six60.

They're the recipients of the University's Six60 scholarships - which include not only a hefty rent reduction but the opportunity to be mentored by the band itself.

We catch up with two of the flatmates with us today - Tomuri and Hamish.
