Stan Walker

There's also, of course, the Tohu Maioha, the Maioha Award.

The finalists for that are Manawa Maia Matariki, performed by Towers, Stan Walker, Heta Hone, Nepia, Rani, and Hops, Puna Ora, performed by Aro, and Toitu Te Tiriti, performed by Geneva AM.

I'm curious.

Let me know, 5395, if there's anyone in particular that you're rooting for that you really hope wins.

Have you?

The iwi-funded ads feature celebrity mana whenua, including musician Stan Walker, Māori AI founder Dan Te Whenua Walker, comedian Joe Daymond and lawyer Riana Tanahui.

Ngāti Maru, pōwhakahaere and CEO Anaru Marshall joins us now.

Kei te rangatira, tēnā koe.

So Instagram, Facebook, those forums, really.

People of their age delivering those messages and keep it fun, you know, some humour.

And so that's why Joe Damon and Dan and Stan Walker are involved in this program.

Yeah.

Now, we did record this last week, so Shay is not in this interview, but we had Stan Walker in studio to talk about the Family Tree School Challenge.

So it's obviously a beautiful song that he sings.

And there's a kaupapa around getting a school involved to help him sing it when he does his concert at the end of this year.

So if that's a bit of you, you want to listen to this.

We have Stan Walker.

You don't really need much of an

introduction.

Meanwhile, at Wolfbrook Arena, since the stadium opened in March, we've had the likes of Jimmy Barnes and Split Ends and a whole lot of other things.

And coming up, this is on the concert front anyway, at the arena, we've got Brian Adams, Westlife and Stan Walker.

Apparently, too, another show at Wolfbrook is going to be announced in the next few weeks.

So Venues Otutahi runs all three concert venues in town.

There's only one OG Jake from Ealing Station.

He's a little Stan Walker lookalike, always wearing red band gumboots and covered in sheep shit.

Chucks on about 10 kgs for every season he doesn't play footy.

Many of us are the fuck claiming to be Jake from Ealing Station.

Yeah, they're the best, aren't they? So, so good.

And Stan Walker, you're so right, Clint.

He doesn't tour often.

He's one of those artists that you, if you get a chance to see him live, do it.

Very similar ilk.

Do you know

what? I don't think you guys have ever mentioned Stan Walker or Guy Sebastian without mentioning the other one.

Every time.
