Rikki Morris on East FM, Saturday from 1pm

Phil from Farm Cove

One of the great all-rounders of the NZ music industry, Rikki Morris – performer, songwriter, sound recordist and engineer, producer and mentor – is the feature artist on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, midday to 4pm (NZ time, July 27) on East FM.

We’re very fortunate to have Rikki Morris coming into the studio at 1pm to talk about his hugely varied and interesting roles, with a leading focus on his immediate weeks ahead as a performer, which includes a one-off reunion concert with the legendary Th’ Dudes at Auckland’s Powerstation on August 24.

Rikki Morris hasn’t put out an album for 26 years, since the very good Everest, but his newest album, appropriately titled About Time, is released next month in August and he’s also hitting the road for six concerts around the country in support of it, with support artist Oni Kidman. Tickets at www.plus1.co.nz...

Two singles are already released, The One Thing I Can’t Live Without, and The Saddest Sound (originally written and demoed by his brother Ian Morris), that are at rikkimorris.bandcamp.com...

Rikki Morris’ Bandcamp page says: ‘With over 35 years’ experience in the music industry, Rikki has won NZ Music Award Tuis, the prestigious APRA Silver Scroll, NZ Radio Jingle Awards, and written and performed a NZ number one single.’

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. Providing a platform for NZ music and performance artists to exhibit their talents since ages ago. Ka pai. – PJ

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Aucklanders, we want to know: How are you feeling about the current property market?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

New Zealand homeowners are now more likely to sell at a loss than at any time since 2013, and if you’re in Auckland or Wellington, the odds are even higher.

But there is a silver lining: buyers are still in a strong position when it comes to negotiating prices.

So we’re curious…
How are you feeling about the current property market?

If you’re keen to dive into the details, Deborah Morris breaks down all the latest insights.
