- Jess Chambers is no stranger to the Wellington-music scene having championed a successful debut album; worked with the likes of Rhian Sheehan, Module and the Upbeats; AND been responsible for the tender female vocals for the much-loved, much-hyped the Woolshed Sessions coterie that have sold out numerous performances and produced a collection of catchy-country-licked-pop songs.

- I recall the first time I spotted the haunting portraits of Wellington-based artist, Brad Williams / Slope. It was a couple of years ago at the opening of an Affordable Art Show and they were causing quite the fuss. Since then I have noticed his distinctive works adorning the walls of many Wellington galleries, cafes and bars. So I was uber-stoked when I learnt he was exhibiting at Manky Chops this month.

He very recently showed at New York’s Guggenheim Museum and became the first New Zealand born painter to do so. Albeit, a naturalised American now, the Auckland-born Gimblett is back in New Zealand to open ‘white stone clear water’ tomorrow at the Page Blackie gallery here in Wellington.

- That evil global economic downturn is looking to strike again, and this time the unfortunate victim may just be Wellington’s Fringe Festival.
After well over a decade of entertaining the masses with some weird and wonderful antics, the Fringe may be abandoned as of next year, due to an overall lack of funding.

One of the hardest things for a filmmaker to master is not only to tell a good story, but to translate it successfully via moving images.

- It's time to celebrate that time when the crazy anarchist tried to blow up British parliament again.
The Pelorus Trust Sky Show will be lighting Wellington skies on Wednesday night for Guy Fawkes. Prepared by world-renowned fireworks maestro Robert McDermott, the show will start at 9pm and will run for about 15 minutes to a soundtrack broadcast on Classic Hits and ZM, with fireworks set off around the harbour.
Around 100,000 spectators are expected to show up for the big bangs, so get there early to grab a good spot, or head to the hills for the best views.
Also, to get into the party vide, before the fireworks, check out The Ride Of Your Life Spectacle, a three-hour show featuring live music from the Beatles Review and the Beat Girls at Frank Kitts park. This show will also have choreographed water-sports performances from jet-skiers, wake-boarders, Thunder Cats and more. It's to raise money for the Wellington Free Ambulance, so donate a gold coin. This show starts at 6pm.
And don't forget that 24-hour liquor ban that applies in the central city area, Oriental Bay and on the Mt Victoria summit, so no sneaky beers. -Stacey
