Keyboards master on East FM, Saturday from 3pm...

Phil from Farm Cove

He’s a musician’s musician, Liam Ryan, and getting NZ Music Month off on the right note it’s a pleasure to have him as featured artist on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time, May 6) on East FM.
There are many musician's musicians in this musically lush wetland, and Liam Ryan easily fits that billing, having played keys with everyone. And of retirement age, there’s no sign of him slowing up soon. He’s just played with nine different bands and musical line-ups over the summer period. You don’t get more in-demand than that.
For beginners, he was in The Narcs, and has played with Midge Marsden for more than 40 years and Rodger Fox Big Band for a dozen.
He continues to release very cool and interesting solo albums, and is playing, recording and producing with artists such as Amin Yossef, Sarah Spicer and Evan Silva.
There’s also his long official association with the National Jazz Festival Tauranga, as a music educator, and management of the National Youth Jazz Competition, so there is plenty to chat about his career in music in a phone interview chat at 4pm. His website is www.torchmusic.co.nz...
We’ll play plenty of music Liam has been associated with, and that means lots of different styles. And because it’s NZ Music Month, we’re only playing Kiwi music on She’ll Be Right Shows through May.
East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And this Saturday, it’s with great respect that we celebrate Liam Ryan Day. – PJ (actually me, human created content; not robot…)

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
