TV star, main-street celebrity and music encyclopedia, Mr Wayne Anderson – the Singer of Songs – is Ten Years Sober (album title?) and to celebrate his monumental enforced drought, he’s back as Guest DJ on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right Show, 3pm to 7pm (NZ time, August 26) on East FM.

And to make Wayne’s return to She’ll Be Right a triumph, he’s packing a punch with a line-up of featured 1950-60s’ rock n’ roll pioneers – Ray Charles, Paul Anka, Eddie Cochrane, Dion and the Belmonts, Bill Haley and the Comets, Ricky Nelson, Del Shannon, and Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Boom! Or do I mean Boomer!?

When Wayne’s guest DJing, it’s his selections, and this show will put the spotlight on those rock n’ roll heroes for a half-hour each. PJ kicks back and eats cake. Pushes a few dials.

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 tomorrow, we get into that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans. What I’d Say! As I walk along I wonder… why? – PJ

Everyone deserves a warm, dry, healthy home – see if you’re eligible for financial support to insulate and heat yours.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump. In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more households are eligible for insulation grants.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau.
