Rikki Morris on East FM, Saturday from 1pm
One of the great all-rounders of the NZ music industry, Rikki Morris – performer, songwriter, sound recordist and engineer, producer and mentor – is the feature artist on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, midday to 4pm (NZ time, July 27) on East FM.
We’re very fortunate to have Rikki Morris coming into the studio at 1pm to talk about his hugely varied and interesting roles, with a leading focus on his immediate weeks ahead as a performer, which includes a one-off reunion concert with the legendary Th’ Dudes at Auckland’s Powerstation on August 24.
Rikki Morris hasn’t put out an album for 26 years, since the very good Everest, but his newest album, appropriately titled About Time, is released next month in August and he’s also hitting the road for six concerts around the country in support of it, with support artist Oni Kidman. Tickets at www.plus1.co.nz...
Two singles are already released, The One Thing I Can’t Live Without, and The Saddest Sound (originally written and demoed by his brother Ian Morris), that are at rikkimorris.bandcamp.com...
Rikki Morris’ Bandcamp page says: ‘With over 35 years’ experience in the music industry, Rikki has won NZ Music Award Tuis, the prestigious APRA Silver Scroll, NZ Radio Jingle Awards, and written and performed a NZ number one single.’

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?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
