On the 1st of November a new form of Auckland City comes into existence. Before then you'll have the chance to vote for a mayor, a councillor and a new community board.
There are 18 candidates standing for 5 positions on the Waiheke Community Board. Waiheke Radio has given each of them two minutes to answer the question, "Why should Waiheke people vote for you?"
Spring is in the air! Here, radio newby Clive Pickthall talks to Waiheke's Weatheman, Malcolm Philcox who has been recording weather data from Awaawaroa Bay since the 1970's. A bit of local history - his records date back to 1914..
Always take the weather, always take the weather - with you..

Waiheke Radio in association with the Waiheke Winter Blues Festival is hosting the Blues Talent Competition during this years festival. All you need to do is email your band name, contact details and the title of one blues song you'd like to sing on Sunday the 29th of August at the Woolshed, on Waiheke Island to Del at del@letmeout.co.nz and we'll give you the opportunity of impressing the audience with your skills.
The winner of the emerging talent gets a Music Video Produced By Let Me Out Ltd and uploaded onto YouTube.
Waiheke Radio will also record the event and replay the winning number on the B-Squared Blues Show on Tuesday night. So dust off the old six-string, and tell the devil you'll meet him next weekend and enter into the comp.
To enter, all you have to do is email us and we'll let you know if there's a spot left in the sing off.

This weeks Variations on a Theme will have a very local flavour. My theme for the week is Living New Zealand Composers and the show will also feature a "live" composer. Eve de Castro-Robinson is one of the composers I featured a couple of weeks ago on my show on the Arvo Part Festival. Eve has kindly agreed to come in to the studio to play and discuss some of her works.
