Look who's coming to DJ, East FM from 3pm, Saturday
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.

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
