Thanks to New Zealand On Air, we now have a whole lot more Kiwi music than we did before. One of the CDs they sent was the Iwi Hit Disc Volume 3 which has a great selection of Maori artists.

Thanks to Brendan Smyth @ New Zealand On Air for hearing our need for Kiwi music and coming through in flying colours!
Flax Records in New Zealand have a new website to coincide with their newest project, a band known as Maia.
The band is described as a funky four piece, with voices of soul and awesome emotional power. They expect to release an album thisFebruary.

We ended off the night with a special focus on Ben Lee. He has come a long way from the days of recording in his bed room on a four track and performing with Noise Addict. As a special request for a listener we went through Ben's short history and played a couple of fairly rare songs ( in Canada ) from the "Something to Remember Me By" sessions.

Ben Lee, Bad Radio Voice, Grand Royal
Ben Lee, In the Desert, Grand Royal
