Live music in East FM studio Saturday arvo...

Phil from Farm Cove

Special treat – Albi and the Wolves are coming into the studio to play live and tell us about their musical journey and philosophy on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) on East FM.

For the third time in the big show’s history, we’re having a complete group line-up playing live in the East FM studio and we can’t think of a better band to showcase than the magnificent folk-roots troubadours, Albi and the Wolves.
The trio – Chris Dent (Albi) on guitar on vocals, Pascal Roggen on violin, Michael Young on bass, and with all of them on wolf pack harmonies – are just back from another very well-received tour of Australia, and have a big summer ahead of concert and festivals here, including the Auckland Folk Festival.

Albi and the Wolves were meant to be playing the Auckland Blues Festival tomorrow November 12, but with that event’s postponement until the new year because of the weather, the guys had an open Saturday, so they’re talking and playing live from 3pm! Great folk, awesome music! We’re fortunate.

And if that’s not enough excitement for one She’ll Be Right Saturday arvo, we’re talking at 5.30pm with Loxmyn Mcdonald-Ness, of jazz and a whole-lot-more band The Filthy Junk Traders, who are playing at Uxbridge Arts and Culture here in Howick on December 2.

On their BandCamp space, The Filthy Junk Traders, with a front line of five saxophones, are “a guerrilla band of merchant airmen specialising in smuggling high value junk to the masses.
“Such delicacies include: Blue Pepper from the Far East, the highest quality sheets of Barklava, rotten sax solis paired with extra fat bass, feral keys and the filthiest drums gloved hands can lift.
“The Traders operate mainly in the South Pacific but Interpol is finding their coded markings worldwide…”
