How could I not have heard of which has recorded so many of my favourite bands right here in central Wellington? Trinity Roots, Hollie Smith, Grayson Gilmore, Fur Patrol, Shihad and many many more have all been recorded in this old spy vault.
But now after 25 years, this building is another to be demolished, and the legendary Munki studios needs to move on. But before they do, there is going to be one hell of a last recording bash there, this weekend, with so many of our best bands all jumping in to honour the music studio that helped make them. And this momentous occasion will be streamed live worldwide, so wherever you are you can join the bands for the final recording at Munki and even help out on the boosted campaign.
Welly’s own “20 feet from Stardom” star Ms Lisa Tomlins and one of Welly’s music scene backbones, Sarah Hunter, talk about why this weekends live stream is so significant.

New B-Sides Stories host Martin Andrews sits down for a chat with Maori language immersion teacher Serahn Kahukura to discuss the state of te reo today, whether te wiki o te reo maori is positive or negative, and why learning the maori language is positive for all New Zealanders regardless of ethnicity.
On Sunday the 9 August, Wellington will host the last event in the annual Huttcross cyclocross league. A labour of love in the truest sense of the word, bringing an unheralded Belgian sport to our distant shores was always a bold decision – but thanks to the support of Tom Lynskey and a bunch of keen Wellington cyclists, the sport is going from strength to mud-soaked strength.
Independent Welly nurse, Hannah Milward, is the reason for the Beats for Nepal fundraiser happening on the 28th of August at Meow. Unlike other fundraisers for Nepal, this one is to actually help Hannah to go and volunteer her skills in the medical and dental camps there at the end of this year. Hannah has a passion for humanitarian work and has already volunteered her skills in Cambodia for three months. But does she really know what she is in for in Nepal?
