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).

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.
