Rather excellent NZ jazz to celebrate the beginning of NZ Music Month, plus the usual excellent eclectic mix from Blind Mango Chutney, ably assisted by DJ Sassy for the gig guide.
We continue with Matilda, FINALLY finish Grogre the Ogre and chat with Lucas from the Tim Bray production of Bad Jelly the Witch - on now and all through the holidays!
We start a new chapter book - Enid Blyton's The Enchanted Wood - and chat with amazing musician Gerry Paul about his new song "The Fairy Child". Plus, we chat lots and eat 14 helpings of pancakes!
We continue with Enid Blyton's Enchanted Wood, chat about birthdays, learn about fruit names in Te Reo from Esme and Sadie and we reach 25 on the pancake count!
We continue with The Enchanted Wood, have a chat with Capt. Festus McBoyle about his new song and new solo show, and we make it to 17 on the pancake count.
A humdinger of a show by Blind Mango Chutney, remembering Pharoah, Ramsey and Gal, plus a full concierto by guitarist Jim Hall and a couple of 50-year-old gems.
Blind Mango Chutney goes spiritual in his jazz selection including Lonnie Liston and Mahavishnu, plus an interview with Loxmyn McDonald-Ness of swing-hip-hop big band The Filthy Junk Traders, who are playing two unique gigs in Auckland this week.
