The Encore! exhibition looks at ways connection happens through live music: being emotionally moved by a performance, connections between those on stage and those in the crowd, and the feeling of being connected to others in a music community. Some featured music venues in the exhibition include the Auckland Town Hall, Powerstation, Galaxy, Temple Bar, Crystal Palace and more. Join us for a conversation on how central Auckland venues have influenced the city over time, and what challenges and opportunities will define their future role. This panel talk consists of some well-known names such as Taylor MacGregor, Savina Fountain, MP Chlöe Swarbrick, and will be moderated by 95bFM breakfast host Rosetta Stone. Come listen to this fascinating kōrero on the future of our music scene in the city. Recorded Live on April 18, 2026. This Tāmaki Untold talk was part of the 'Opening Act" programming and was held at the Whare Wānanga, Tāmaki Pātaka Kōrero | Central City Library Introduction by Julian Backing Track is Coffee Talk by Dusty Melody

Crawley eludes us once more. This time he's down with an infectious disease. But fret not, producer Harry is back for another solo Monday show. Will he be able to hold the fort? Or are we in for a three-hour trainwreck? Find out below! Big tunes all round today. Harry watched the Shayne Carter doco over the weekend, and so we heard many a tune from big Shayne! Jaycee also popped in and we chatted about NZ Music Month. Uuuugh, why can't every month be NZ Music Month?!?! Harry W's dad, Stevie W, even had a song selection. And what a banger it was! Ngā mihi nui The Beer Spot!

To close out NZ Music Month, The Swap Meet went deep into the local crate for a full show of Aotearoa sounds - new, old, and a few things nobody's heard yet. We had exclusive pre-release listens from some killer upcoming records: The Lahaar, Nathan Haines & The Illusions, The Circling Sun, and a stunning ensemble session featuring Paul Dyne, Julien Dyne, Joe Kaptein, Isaac Aesilli, Lucien Johnson, Ruby Walsh, John Bell, Finn Scholes, and Harrison Choi - music that's due out soon and well worth the wait. Alongside those, the record bag was full of finds from a year of digging through dusty bins - everything from Kevin Field and Clear Path Ensemble to Gold Matter, Leonard Charles, Emcee Lucia, and a few real oddities that don't fit any neat category. Dujon Cullingford took over for a 30-minute mix focused on the yacht rock and AOR side of Aotearoa's 70s and 80s with Malcolm McCallum, Kim Hart, Rock Candy, Merv Owen and friends, all getting their moment.  The rest of the show kept moving through jazz, beats, soul: SPDRTWNBBY live at 95bFM, Alan Broadbent, Louisa Williamson, Wave Infinity Junction live, and closing things out with the Commodores' Cebu: RIP Ronald LaPread.
