The debut studio album from Georgia Lines, ‘The Rose of Jericho’ is a ten-track album touching on grief, loss, heartache, as well as joy and lightness.

The album is named for a plant that has come to symbolise rebirth and hope due to its seemingly magical ability to come back to life. 

She told RNZ that the last few years have left her feeling like a Rose of Jericho herself.

"I am [also] in the process of coming back to life, remembering things that were lost and all of the things associated with that … my record was the rose inside."

Estelle Clifford: Georgia Lines - The Rose of Jericho

The World of Music, Arts and Dance Festival has all the ingredients for a good time – food, dancing, arts, and an incredible line-up of local and international artists.

English/Kiwi rock band The Veils were announced this week in the first line-up of acts to headline next year’s WOMAD festival.

The enigmatic indie band have a reputation for their intense live performances, and they’ll be teaming up with a few classical musicians for their performance at the festival.

Frontman Finn Andrews told Jack Tame that it’ll be a “pretty raucous affair”.

He said that working with classical musicians gives them the option to lean into the extremes. 

“It kinda just intensifies that even more. I think it's gonna be really full on and really quiet and intimate as well.”

Estelle Clifford: Snow Patrol - The Forest is the Path

We Solve Murders by Richard Osman  

Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He does the odd bit of investigation work, but he prefers his familiar habits and routines: the pub quiz, his favourite bench, his cat waiting for him when he comes home. His days of adventure are over: adrenaline is daughter-in-law Amy’s business now. 

Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. As a private security officer, she doesn’t stay still long enough for habits or routines. She’s currently on a remote island keeping world-famous author Rosie D’Antonio alive. Which was meant to be an easy job . . . 

Then a dead body, a bag of money and a killer with their sights on Amy have her sending an SOS to the only person she trusts. A breakneck race around the world begins, but can Amy and Steve stay one step ahead of a deadly enemy? 

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty  

Aside from a delay, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed. 
 
Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future—age 103!—and they laugh. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all. 
 
How do they know this? There were ostensibly more interesting people on the flight (the bride and groom, the jittery, possibly famous woman, the giant Hemsworth-esque guy who looks like an off-duty superhero, the frazzled, gorgeous flight attendant) but none would become as famous as “The Death Lady.” 
 
Not a single passenger or crew member will later recall noticing her board the plane. She wasn’t exceptionally old or young, rude or polite. She wasn’t drunk or nervous or pregnant. Her appearance and demeanor were unremarkable. But what she did on that flight was truly remarkable. 
 
A few months later, one passenger dies exactly as she predicted. Then two more passengers die, again, as she said they would. Soon no one is thinking this is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party. 
 
If you were told you only had a certain amount of time left to live, would you do things differently? Would you try to dodge your destiny?
