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

Phil from Farm Cove

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.

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 tomorrow, we get into that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans. What I’d Say! As I walk along I wonder… why? – PJ

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
