On Friday last week, myself (Frances), Joe and Liam jumped in the car and drove down the West Coast to WOMAD.
WOMAD is an international arts festival. The central aim of WOMAD is to celebrate the world's many forms of music, arts and dance. This year saw a line up with the likes of Youssu N’Dor, Avantdale Bowling Club, Sampa the Great and a whole bunch more.
There was also a range of food, market stalls, and workshops. Interviews were taking place with writers, vendors were selling salt grinders, and local chefs came together to sell food from Venezuelan Arepas to Hungarian Langos.
After pitching some tents in the mud, we grabbed our mics and headed out to enjoy the festival and talk to the people of WOMAD.
Crawley chats to Goodspace about their new single You Only Get What You Leave from their upcoming album Let's Talk About Death out on 5th October, as well as the album installation at Lim Chhour titled VENDOR running all week long from September 28th. Go check it out!
GoldTooth chats to HALFQUEEN about FLOSSIN, happening this Saturday at East Street Hall. The gig is in support of ActionStation's campaign Dental For All, which seeks to get free dental care to all those in Aotearoa. Whakarongo mai nei to learn about the kaupapa behind this campaign and all the artists and vendors putting mahi into raising awareness around discrepencies in access to healthcare. GoldTooth also jumps in the mix to get you in the mood for dancing to sets from some of the finest selectors from across Te-Ika-a-Maui. The lineup for FLOSSIN features bFM DJs Leon Aoki, BBYFACEKILLA, and AJ Honeysuckle, as well as Warren Duncan, Tamatha Paul (the MP!), and Kaiviti. Faves of local gastronomers Matua Murupaenga and Pici will be providing kai throughout the day too. Head along!

After a big weekend, we're crusing smoothly into Monday with music from the depths of the bFM CD Archive. Peter Lineham talks to us about why some Russians dip themselves into freezing waters, Tyler Baikie breaks down how far we've come with AI making future decisions, and huh that's odd... Corey doesn't read the news at 6pm....
