12.15  Royal New Zealand Navy's 75th anniversary

This week marks the official 75th anniversary of the Royal New Zealand Navy, when naval vessels from around the world converge on Auckland's Waitamata harbour for a five day party.  Lynn Freeman spoke to some young high achievers in the Navy, after first visiting the naval museum and a special exhibition brought together for the anniversary.  There are 75 objects, many so unusual you can't understand why they'd be on display until you read the description.

People remember the famous end of The Band, captured in Martin Scorcese's concert film The Last Waltz.  The virtuoso player in the group was always in the back - Garth Hudson on keyboards and occasional sax.  Garth is coming to New Zealand to play with a star-studded array of local Band fans to commemorate the 40th anniversary of The Last Waltz.  Simon Morris speaks to Garth and his wife, Sister Maud Hudson.

 

12:50  Portage Ceramic Awards

A Kapiti Coaster who divides her time between there and Idaho has cliched this year's top ceramic award. Caroline Early's deceptively simple Clinch 6 has won this year's Premier Award in the Portage Ceramic Awards, with a nice $15,000 cash prize to boot.  The prize is in its 15th year and is run by Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery.  Caroline joins Simon Morris, along with Canberra-based potter and Portage judge Janet DeBoos.

1:30 Anne McCahon - A Table of One's Own

McCahon House in Titirangi is where fans go to see where Colin McCahon lived in the 1950s.  But McCahon House was also home to Anne McCahon, an artist in her own right, who until this exhibition has largely been overlooked by posterity, .  A Table of One's Own is presented at Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery.  It coincides with and celebrates the 10th anniversary of the McCahon House Museum and Artists' Residency and the 30th Anniversary of the Lopdell House Gallery.

This weekend - Remembrance Day - people around the world remember those who died in the line of duty. This special feature takes us behind the eyes of a frightened seven year old girl, sheltering with her family and neighbours in the cellar of their house in a small Dutch village. In the streets around them one of the final skirmishes of WW2 in Europe is being contested. Huberta Hellendoorn's The Cellar's Echo features Harriet Prebble and Susan Wilson.

 

2:49 The Art of the Pitch
