Access All Areas: 25 years of The Warratahs
As writer and broadcaster Chris Bourke once wrote, the Warratahs have earned their reputation by playing "what seems like a tiny wooden hall down the end of every gravel road in New Zealand… like the main trunk line and the Edmonds Cookbook, the place wouldn't be the same without them"
This year marks the 25th anniversary of The Warratahs, and they are celebrating with a newly remastered 19-track album of their best, plus a 5 track E.P. of new songs, together entitled The Warratahs 25 Year Collection. For Access All Areas this week Trevor Reekie catches up with the two founding members, singer-songwriter Barry Saunders and violinist Nik Brown. (Pictured right in 1987 - (L-R): John Donoghue, Wayne Mason, Barry Saunders, Marty Jorgensen, Nik Brown)
Dictaphone Blues
Songwriter Ed Castelow has led Dictaphone Blues through several line-up changes, but now he's found a committed band to take his new album Beneath The Crystal Palace on the road. Nick Atkinson visited Auckland studio The Lab where the band bake up their sound. Ed talks about being a musical 'yes-man'.

Around The World in 80 Tunes Pt 5: Romania
Romania is a country with a vibrant music scene that has one foot in the past and one foot firmly in the future. From the big brass assault and Roma bravado of bands like Mahala Rai Banda to emerging young electronic talent- which is fast giving Romania's capital Bucharest a reputation for its forward thinking club culture. Nick Dwyer meets with Aurel Ionita, band leader of Mahala Rai Banda and Cosmin TRG, one of the leading production talents in Romanian club music, for an insight into the country's rich and unique culture and heritage.
