Turkey the Bird – the band, not nation; Barry “Dr Rock” Jenkin, and a healthy dose of original Kiwi music are subject matter – citizens – on today’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time, May 20) on East FM.
Taranaki-hard Turkey the Bird, the hugely-entertaining and musically charming folk trio who play all the guitar-family string instruments, and sing of life and the land, are at the tail-end of an “epic” 27-concert tour of the country.
We’ll be talking live with André Manella of Turkey the Bird at 4pm, and playing tracks from their great album WTF (When Turkeys Fly) in the lead-up to their only Auckland show on Saturday, May 27, at the Ministry of Folk, held at Auckland Guide Centre, 132 Grange Rd, Mt Eden. Tickets at www.turkeythebird.co.nz...
There have been tributes galore to Barry Jenkin these past days, and we’ll chip in with recollections of Dr Rock, the man of late-night gruff rock DJ persona, learned in his knowledge, sure of his convictions. He certainly guided a lot of us into exciting musical territories.
And because it’s NZ Music Month, we’re only playing Kiwi music on She’ll Be Right Shows in May.
Turkey the Bird: Andre Manella, originally of Switzerland, is on guitar, bass and percussion; Adrian Whelan, from Ireland, plays guitar, mandolin, bass and spoons; and Sol Bear Coulton, the Kiwi, sparkles on banjo and slide guitar.
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, we’re talking Turkey – the Bird, and doing it for Dr Rock and Bruce Robertson. - PJ

Don't let your parents go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold.

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

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

Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.

Same company sold this product online 32.99, After my call what I found this pharmacy is not operate by mother company. This pharmacy is just license seller which mother company don't have pricing restriction or control.
So I believe before you enter to Unichem Pharmacy please understand they will charge you what ever they want.
There is another customer before me this pharmacy charge $26 small panadol pack.
