Hoodoo Gurus Day on East FM, Saturday arvo from 3pm...

Phil from Farm Cove

Bloody rain. Anyway, it’s Australia’s mighty Hoodoo Gurus Day on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) on East FM. Bewdy.
The Hoodoos play two Auckland shows next week – Wednesday with Silk Cut at Paraoa Brewing, Whangaparaoa; and next Thursday’s sold-out concert at the Powerstation, with Blam Blam Blam (!). Then they head south for Selwyn Sounds and Hutt Sounds.
Tickets at www.plus1.co.nz... and they’re doing other great shows now and beyond – 10CC, Henry Rollins, Proclaimers, Madeleine Peyroux, Mi-Sex and Stellar, The Stranglers and Greg Johnson.
For She’ll Be Right, we’ll play tracks from the five Hoodoo Gurus albums we’ve played a hundred times – Mars Needs Guitars, Stoneage Romeos, Blow Your Cool, Magnum Cum Louder, and Kinky – and requests are encouraged, especially what to play from the new HG album, Chariot of the Gods. Listening to it now.
We’ll also touch down in some other musical neighbourhoods in between.
East FM is East Auckland’s dedicated 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 back to head banging to the Hoodoo Gurus. – PJ

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.

John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
