 7:00 pm New Horizons - on Radio New Zealand Concert

William Dart hosts an hour of rock, pop, country or folk music; each programme focusing on a new release or two and placing these in the context of an artist's career to date. His encyclopaedic knowledge and gargantuan record collection allow him to find hidden gems and surprising links. With plenty of humour along the way, William gives a serious treatment to these vital forms of music. This week:

Barbara Morgenstern - BM ("...a beguiling package...")

Wave Machines - Wave if you're really there ("...cheers the heart of any survivor of the 70s...")

Vampire Weekend - Contra ("...extreme cleverness afoot...")

Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus ("...some piece of work...")

Eels - End Times ("...a sad, miserable trek...")

At the end William segues - for the hell of it - from the miserable to the magical and celebrates one of his favourite song writing teams.

Wayne Mowat presents tunes too good to be forgotten.

2:30 am Hidden Treasures

Repeated from Sunday Morning

11:06 pm Beale Street Caravan

David Knowles introduces the Memphis-based radio show with an international reputation for its location recordings of blues musicians live in concert.

This week we have two fine guitarists, Joe Bonamassa and James Armstrong.

Joe Bonamassa could play the blues before he reached his teens emulating people like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmy Page. Now in his thirties he shows no sign of slacking off and is still as inventive and ear-catching as ever.

The Caravan crew caught his show at Minglewood Hall in Memphis.

The other guitarist, James Armstrong, knows all you need to know about the blues. He was attacked and nearly stabbed to death but has recovered.

Although it affected the speed of his guitar playing a little bit, the quality is better than before, and his spirit even stronger.

He was recorded at the 2009 Pocono Blues Festival.
