Nights for Friday 28 September 2018

 

7:07 Sonic Tonic - Eyes

Let every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent. William Shakespeare

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind. Mahatma Gandhi

A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet. Orson Welles

It's easy to fool the eye but it's hard to fool the heart. Al Pacino

8:10 Something for the Weekend

Violinist and Artistic Director of the Mount Eden Chamber Music Festival, Simeon Broom joins us to tell us all about it.

8:15 Dateline Pacific

RNZ Pacific's daily current affairs programme covering the major Pacific stories of the week, with background and reaction from the people making the news.

8:30 Friday Night Live

On Friday Night Live we go to The Holy Trinity Cathedral in September 2013 with a performance from much loved song-writing and performing legends Dave Dobbyn & Don McGlashan. The duo is marking the ten-year anniversary of the first Acoustic Church Tour.

9:07 Country Life 

Country Life meets a man near Pukekohe who grows hundreds of thousands of white orchids for export each year - he says it's simpler that way.

Then we go up the creek and off the grid just south of Franz Josef with a farmer Graham Berry. The born-and-bred West Coaster borrows water from a creek in the Department of Conservation managed Park, to drive a 55-kiloWatt, hydro-electric scheme to power his dairy shed, electric fences and farm houses.

10:17 Lately

Lately with Karyn Hay is a late night radio show on RNZ National, with an eye on live events, an ear for music, a great sense of humour and a genuine interest in people and their stories.

11:07 The Mixtape

This week's RNZ Music mixtape selector is The Eastern's Adam McGrath. He shares tales of his rugged Southern upbringing with Kirsten Johnstone.
