Sam was disengaged and struggling to find meaning in his daily routine of attending school, doing chores, and playing video games. Then, he was invited to join a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme, which introduced him to the outdoors.

After the wilderness adventure, Sam became more confident and self-assured, and his teachers noticed a positive change in his sociability and willingness to ask questions in class.

He developed a "give-it-a-go" attitude. Inspired by his newfound passion for the outdoors, Sam plans to join the New Zealand Defence Force after finishing school.

Intriguing story of musical restoration, on East FM, Saturday from 3pm

Phil from Farm Cove

Back in the day, there were two young musician songwriters growing up in Hamilton (NZ) named Chris Thompson, and one went on to be a member of Manfred Mann’s Earth Band.
The Chris Thompson we feature tomorrow is not that one, but equally interesting.
He started out in the Waikato; got a break to be backing guitarist for Julie Felix. Then in London circa 1971 began a solo career involving performances, songwriting and recording. A stint as musician in residence at Trinity College, in Dublin, followed, along with a highly industrious period of playing, recording and no doubt enjoying his OE. By Kiwi standards, it would have been an incredible one in pioneering OE times.
By the mid-1970s, Chris was back home, and he’s continued to play and release albums. He even toured with John Hanlon, Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The story we’ll mostly focus on tomorrow is about his long-lost recordings that were on a 1974 Apple Corps acetate and left in London at EMI Studios before Chris returned to NZ.
They ended up getting moved around to different musical locations in London, before being tracked down by Donald McLeod, of Hamilton, and a team of people across the globe, after 43 years.
Sleeve notes of Drunken Nights in Dublin (2018, Pinenut Records/Chris Thompson) read: ‘Chris Thompson is an internationally recognised folk and blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist. This long lost album is what was meant to have been his second album, available for the very first time in 2018.’
We’ll be talking live at 4pm to Chris Thompson and Donald McLeod about this amazing project to get these 1971-74 recordings that were in London and finally released on vinyl LP, 12”, and CD, in NZ in 2018.
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 find out about a very special Kiwi musician, Chris Thompson, and a unique resurrection. – PJ

Visit Howick Historical Village to tune into Pacific Frequencies: Mahu, a sonic exhibition highlighting Indigenous and Pacific stories of home and healing, created and developed by the all wāhine production collective BRŌWNALFĀ.

Exploring channels of urban Polynesian and Māori experiences in Tāmaki Makaurau, this immersive storytelling installation is situated in Brindle Cottage, a mid-19th century settler’s home now used for educational activities. Pacific Frequencies: Mahu features a purpose built Polynesian-themed living room from a slightly earlier era. Settle yourself into this domestic space, throw on some headphones, and flick through a world of sound and stories on an old-school radio.

Poets, musicians, and storytellers from East and South Auckland collaborated with BRŌWNALFĀ to design this soundscape-driven audio experience. Opening the discussion around story sovereignty, the exhibit delves into the Pacific diaspora, tūrangawaewae, and the ever-changing understanding of Tāmaki Makaurau's history.

This project is funded by Arts Out East, supported by Te Tuhi, Howick Local Board, and Howick Historical Village.

July 9 – August 4 (Tuesday – Sunday 10:00am - 3:00pm)

75 Bells Road, Pakuranga, Auckland, New Zealand. In Lloyd Elsmore Park. Free with admission to Howick Historical Village. Admission price: Adults $14, senior/student $12, Child $6.
