Show Notes

13:15 Backstage at the 2025 APRA Silver Scroll Awards

Kara Rickard and Tony Stamp report back from a big night in Ōtautahi Christchurch, speaking backstage at the Isaac Theatre with Musical Director Delaney Davidson, and nominees There's a Tuesday, JessB, Mazbou Q and Fazerdaze. Then Kara speaks with Maioha Award-winners Dillastrate, and the duo who took home the main prize, Marlon Williams and Kommi.

14:10 Indie-pop quartet There's a Tuesday are flush with success

The two-time Silver Scroll nominees and Christchurch locals join Kara in-studio to chat about a big year which featured the release of their debut album Blush.

14:30 Melbourne's Georgia Knight debuts her first album in Christchurch

The Naarm singer-songwriter is spending time in Ōtautahi to work on new material, and celebrate the release of her debut album Beanpole, which came out on Friday. She joins Kara to talk about the influences that went into the diverse collection, and her favoured instrument, the autoharp.

15:10 From the AMAs to America, Fazerdaze isn't phased

Amelia Murray won Album of the Year and Best Solo Artist at the AMAs earlier this year for Soft Power, an LP that was a labour of love over many years.

15:30 It's all going swimmingly for Jed Parsons

Fresh from his first stint co-hosting the Scrolls, the Ōtautahi entertainer and musician has released a new single called 'I Might Go Swimming'. He phones in from Tauranga to give Kara the low down.
