Johnny Cash and The Forgotten Prison Blues Pt 1 of 2
Writer and broadcaster, Danny Robins, explores the little-known side to Johnny Cash’s career as a performer and reformer in prisons.
Cash’s classic albums recorded at Folsom Prison and San Quentin are well known, but few are aware that these were just two of many prison concerts he played over an almost 30-year period.
In this episode, Robins travels to Arkansas, Cash’s home state to uncover a forgotten concert at one of the worst prisons in the country at the time, Cummins Penitentiary.

1-2pm

Adventures in Musicland: Awa in Hawaii
In this episode of Adventures in Musicland: Awa in Hawaii, Nesian Mystik’s Te Awanui Reeder returns to the islands to meet some of the characters who are championing his South Pacific pop.

Live: Estere at Roundhead Studios

Estere Dalton is a multi-instrumentalist and plays almost anything she can get her hands on, producing all of her own music at home in her bedroom with her trusty MPC nick-named Lola.
Estere is also a member of Wellington’s Funk, Soul and Jazz group Brockaflowersaurus Rex and the Blueberry Biscuits. Here she is live at Roundhead Studios.

2-3pm

The Wire: Episode 5
Electricity's done a lot of great things for music, but there have also been a few side-effects. For better or worse, wherever you go today, music is playing - at a restaurant, in a store, at the mall, when you're on hold on the phone. Part 5 in this CBC series asks are we suffering from musical overload? How did music come to be so ubiquitous? And what's the difference between ambient music and aural wallpaper, relaxation and irritation?                                                 

3-4pm

Live: The Phoenix Foundation
You can’t beat this Wellington band on a good day, and The Phoenix Foundation do not disappoint here. The six-piece band glides between guitar pop, alt-country, psychedelia and synthesized prog rock, captured live in the intimate setting of the Festival Club by Radio New Zealand.

4-5pm

MixTape: Ruban Nielson of Unknown Mortal Orchestra
We invite musical guests to compile a C60, and talk us through the selections.
Former Mint Chick and recent Taite Prize winner, Ruban Nielson takes us through the prog and psych songs that inspired his new album, II.
