'Fly Away' by La Favi in response to "Hey I'm about to quit my job. You got a song for me?" for the Emotional Request of the week (out to the txt-line number ending in 861)
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'.
Welcome to the mid-week show! The Mind Trench is back as per usual with the bees knees and elephant sneezes. Rachel speaks to Savina Fountain and Aubrie Mitchel from BIG FAN about their programme Ignite, a new initiative for rangatahi wanting to enter NZ music scene. Whakarongo mai nei!
Performer and choreographer Suzanne Cowan spoke with Rachel this morning about the panel discussion 'Crip Dance/Dance and Dis-ability' which is happening tonight as part of the Tempo Dance Festival 2020. Whakarongo mai nei to hear about expanded dance, reframing identity and how to tune in this evening.
Belle and Tui from Dance Plant Collective join Rachel in studio for a chat about First Thursday's, the wintery event on Karangahape Road that we're all looking forward to. The pair talk contemporary dance, light boxes (shout out to Tui's Dad) and guest dancers in their collective. You can catch them at Cross Street tomorrow night at First Thursday's or later in July at Tūrama Festival.
