This week on Te Pae we interview your neighbour and theatre wunderkind Sunny Amey, we have live music with the winners of Paekakariki Schools’ Got Talent Sophie Handford and Max Bullen. Issue of the week is a replay from the archives about GROW Paekakariki, as this has seen lots of recent comment and is very topical. Pirate Pete is in with his first fishing report for the summer season, Community Notices are with Aliki, the Squawk is from Shelly for Te Ra School and we finish with Spoken Word from Pat Rosier.

Listeners everywhere can check out the Audio section of our website for over 70 recordings from previous Te Pae shows this year on local issues, people and performances (with thanks to the work of Barbara MacDonald).
