He Aho Rōreka is a project from the creative minds of Jeremy Mayall and Horomona Horo which they, along with OCT Ensemble, are taking to Putaruru and Huntly this weekend.

Jeremy Mayall talks with Bryan Crump about the project and why, although he's lived in different parts of New Zealand, he always finds himself coming back to Kirikiriroa Hamilton, where he was born.

"There's a great sense of energy in the creative community here. There's something about the creativity here that's really exciting - there's really amazing story-tellers... and creatives of all different art forms and types and energies."

"It's a really great space to collaborate from, because there is a sense of connection and a sense of willingness to go to different places."
