New children's Lockdown song to play on East FM
We’ve got a special Lockdown song to play at 9.30am tomorrow Friday morning (NZ time) on East FM’s remotely-produced Bubble Breakfast Show, the new track Everyday Heroes (Thank You Essential Workers), released this week by Claudia Robin Gunn (Little Wild Music, based in East Auckland) and Michal Amy Bush (Music With Michal, based in Christchurch).
Everyday Heroes (Thank You Essential Workers) is a catchy, fun and joyful song of gratitude, written virtually across the two Kiwi children’s music artist’s homes during the nationwide lockdown. The music video is out now, with the song releasing on all streaming platforms this week.
The talented women say: “Clap your hands and dance along in celebration of our everyday heroes. It’s an educational and entertaining kids’ song and music video perfect for these times.”
Claudia and Michal teamed up to make a fully virtual music project together over the course of just a week, with help from collaborator Andy Knopp (The Response) on audio production.
Once we get to level 2 in Auckland, we’ll invite Claudia into the reopened East FM studio to talk about her career in music, and especially in the arena of children’s song storytelling.
The Bubble Breakfast Show is broadcasting from 8am on East FM, East Auckland’s pivoting community-powered public service radio station, on local frequencies 88.1FM and 107.1FM, globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio. Even in isolation, we’re 24/7.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
