Guest Interviews

Hollie Fullbrook aka Tiny Ruins is playing a special gig next wednesday with ol' mate Lawrence Arabia at the Auckland Museum. Whakarongo mai nei to hear about what she has been getting up to- new music on the horizon! 

This year's APRA Silver Scroll Awards featured stunning interpretations of some of Aotearoa's finest music, guided with grace and precision through the awards' new online format by musical director Julia Deans.

95bFM Breakfast's Rachel was present at the Tāmaki Makaurau tapings of two such interpretations: Disciple Pati's rendition of Reb Fountain's 'Don't You Know Who I Am'; and Alien Weaponry's stonking take on Troy Kingi's 'Mighty Invader'.

Later, at the awards screening, 95bFM's Tess & Zoë caught up with Scroll winners Stella Bennett (better known as Benee), Josh Fountain and Djeisan Suskov as they celebrate their win for Benee's 'Glitter'.

Rachel was lucky enough to have a chat with Tunisian-born, New York-based, experimental singer, Emel who is releasing The Tunis Diaries; a two-part album that features a collection of newly recorded reworks from Emel’s catalog ‘Day’, paired with an eclectic selection of covers ‘Night’. Definitely worth checking out.

Jed Parsons dials in whilst roaming around the country to talk about a brand new single, 'Sad Together',  and the video to go with it that's officially out this Friday. With the video made by Sports Team, aka Callum and Annabel, it's definitely one you want to check out!
