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...

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
