Hutt Zone 20th August

This week we "Electrify The Hutt" – and talk to its chairperson James Scott ahead more house and business events on making the switch off fossil fuels to renewable energy options. There’s lots of practical ideas to help the Hutt make the move – with events coming up in Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt and a big regional event in Wellington in September & October.
We hear more in the 2016 history series with musician Peter Hall on life in Upper Hutt in the 1960s, with Upper Hutt Libraries Caren Wilton. Upper Hutt Heritage
There’s local poetry from Kat Joseph – “Above” from last year’s Upper Hutt Libraries Poetry Competition.
And there’s local music from ex-Hutt Valley High School student Bruce Aitken “Me vibe the Sun” and from local composer Jonathon Berkahn – the Gloria movement from his A Hopkins Gloria sung by the Festival Singers.
You can always Facebook message John with local story, musician or poetry suggestions. https://www.facebook.com/JohnMacDonaldNZ/
