Bowie visited New Zealand in 1983, and shortly before his first concert in Wellington, Bowie was invited to visit Takapūwāhia Marae in Porirua.
He was among the first bonafide rock stars to be officially welcomed onto a Māori marae.

“The BBC itself seems to be losing the will to back radio as a broadcast medium, urging us all instead to become podcast fans. To me that seems like a shop that only offers canned food. And listeners to a flagship news programme expect fresh meat, thoughtfully prepared” - radio critic Gillian Reynolds on why she’s not listening to the Today programme on Radio 4 as much (as thousands of others aren’t either)

The funeral of BBC local radio as we know it. Sad - and needless.
