Special Howick homecoming for our NZ music great, Sat arvo, 3-4pm on East FM
New Zealand music legend John Hanlon is the in-studio guest on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) September 3 on East FM.
We’re excited to be talking with John between 3pm and 4pm, as we’ll further explore his most recent album, Naked Truths (Ode, 2021), that we featured a few months ago, with all its 23 songs.
It’s a remarkable body of work by such an accomplished composer and artist, superbly produced and arranged by Bruce Lynch and Russell Finch, who play throughout along with Rex Goh, and there are cameos by fellow musicians Dean Kerr and Lewis McCallum.
It’ll be great to have John Hanlon in the East FM studio, in Howick, where he grew up and it all started for him as a singer-songwriter and musician in the 1960s and 1970s, leading to the big-selling singles and Kiwi Music Gold Discs and career that has delivered 10 albums to date.

We’ll also take the usual tour of the musical neighbourhoods, on the She’ll Be Right Show with PJ that beams out of East FM, East Auckland’s community-powered public service radio station, on local frequencies 88.1FM and 107.1FM, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
East FM is proudly the official broadcaster for www.howick175.co.nz...
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
