Chocker-block She'll Be Right Show, Saturday from 3pm on East FM
Rhythm n’ blues and soul, and outstanding original Kiwi music, strike a sunny spring tone for tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturday Show with PJ Taylor, from 3pm to 7pm (NZ time, September 9) on East FM.
Tony Painting, our king of rockin’ blues in East Auckland, is in studio at 3.30pm to catch-up and talk about the upcoming concert for Blue September, Men’s Health Month, with the Crazy O’l Boy Blues Band, at Bosun’s Bar, Good Home / The Prospect of Howick, on Friday, September 29.
Tickets are pre-show $20 and $30 on the door, available at the pub, or www.eventfinda.co.nz...
It’d be true to say the recordings of Sam Ford and Trudi Green and the Soulahula Band have been favourite plays this year, especially with the release of the OOOEE! album in the autumn. And in anticipation of their show next Friday evening, we’re going to play their other superb record, Sweet Sweet Love, in entirety at 5pm as the featured album.
For tickets to their OOOEE! concert on September 15, which will be another delight in country-soul and r’n’b expressionism: www.eventfinda.co.nz...

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“.
