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...
And we must play this year’s Top Five finalists for the APRA Silver Scroll Award / Kaitito Kaiaka:
Don't Go Back, by Marlon Williams and Mark Perkins, performed by Marlon Williams (Concord Music Publishing).
Expert In A Dying Field, by Elizabeth Stokes, Jonathan Pearce, Benjamin Sinclair, and Tristan Deck, performed by The Beths (Carpark Music Publishing via Gaga Music).
Friday Night @ The Liquor Store, by Tom Scott and Christopher James, performed by Avantdale Bowling Club.
Layla, by Ruban Nielson and Kody Nielson, performed by Unknown Mortal Orchestra (Mushroom Music).

And we’ll also have concert news, salutes to Jimmy Buffett and Warren Zevon; birthday wishes for The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde and drummer Martin Chambers; and zip into a few other musical neighbourhoods.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
