Hi Everyone,
If you are trying to think of different Xmas presents to give to family members and friends, then how about a gift card for an art Course for a term? The gift that could last a lifetime.

At MEGANZ School of Visual Arts, we teach drawing, painting, and sculpture to tweens, teens, and adults. Students can work on their own project ideas, at their own pace and from any level of ability.
We have afternoon, evening, and Saturday class times available.
But be quick as the classes are filling up fast.

Check out our website www.vizart.co.nz... for details on the course times and fees and text Megan to either get a gift card and/or book a course for Term 1, 2024. And take a look at our student's work on our Instagram page - @meganzsva

Hope to work with you on your creative ideas in the new year.

Blockbuster rolls at midday, Saturday... East FM

Phil from Farm Cove

Lights, camera, action… Johnny Andrews – Johnny be good – is a pop-culture fanatic, movies and music in equal measure, and the man from the popular My Movie DNA podcast is tomorrow’s guest DJ spinning film soundtracks on the She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, midday to 4pm … View moreLights, camera, action… Johnny Andrews – Johnny be good – is a pop-culture fanatic, movies and music in equal measure, and the man from the popular My Movie DNA podcast is tomorrow’s guest DJ spinning film soundtracks on the She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, midday to 4pm (NZ time) on East FM.

A while back, Johnny invited me to be his guest on My Movie DNA, which was a very enjoyable show podcasts.apple.com... - talking the cinema experience.

To reciprocate, he’s guest DJing and focusing on movie soundtracks, an area, it’s fair to say, he’s an expert. If you follow him on social media, you’ll know he’s almost a daily consumer of cinematic creations, and soundtracks, on vinyl, top of his set-lists.

In between on SBR, there’ll no doubt be chatter about the songs being played, and fun and learned banter on the worldly subjects of the day. Projecting in technicolour.

East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum 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, Johnny Andrews is taking us to the movies, musically. In fully Dolby-enhanced, hi-fi quadraphonic sound (probably). Cut! – PJ
