As well as featuring Taranaki band Turkey the Bird, we’re jive walking back to the 1970s and spotlighting that eclectic decade of music with guest DJ Vince Collins on this arvo’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) on East FM.
Back in April, Vince and I covered off different genres of music from the Eclectic ‘70s, but we still have plenty of material to play in today’s second instalment.
We’ll also be talking with Andre Manella of Turkey the Bird at 4pm before the trio’s concert at the Ministry of Folk in Mt Eden on Saturday night.
East FM is East Auckland’s diverse community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And this Saturday we’re talking turkey (like most weeks) and reliving the ‘70s. – PJ

Check these guys out! It’s Thanks Giving. Turkey The Bird – what a name for a band – what a look – and Auckland has the good fortune to be able to see them this Saturday, June 11, at the Ministry of Folk in Mt Eden.
It’s also our good fortune that we’ll be talking with Andre Manella of the band at 4pm on this Saturday’s She’ll Be Right Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) on East FM.
The three-piece Turkey the Bird are coming up to Auckland from New Plymouth for the Ministry of Folk gig to feature tracks from their album – Turkey the Bird – WTF (when turkeys fly).
It’s excellent – roots, Celtic, country, folk and bluegrass – with a good dose of reality, harmony and sense of humour. Music from the soul. Breezy, uplifting, fun.
And they all play plenty of instruments: Andre Manella on vocals, guitar, bass, drums, percussion; Adrian Whelan on vocals, guitar, mandolin, bass, spoons, percussion; and Sol Bear Coulton on vocals, banjo, slide guitar, percussion.

Turkey the Bird, and Hoop, play the Ministry of Folk, Auckland Guide Centre, 132 Grange Road, Mt Eden, doors 7pm, on Saturday, June 11. Tickets at: www.undertheradar.co.nz...

You can find Turkey the Bird on Facebook and their website is turkeythebird.co.nz. There are videos in all the usual net locations.

East FM is East Auckland’s vibrant community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.

I would like to whole-heartedly acknowledge all those who work under a lot of stress, strain and are doing long hours to keep our health system and industries moving. My hubby is one such dedicated person. He cycles when he can and listens to music and enjoys sport. I am an art tutor, meditator, Granny and other stuff, I have so enjoyed seeing self-discovery in action when others paint. Recently I have been learning how to create an Art experience where participants can relax and destress, a self-focus time. Would you be interested in spending time creating something that is personal, in a relaxed environment?
