Next year, the Auckland Philharmonia will perform an incredible one-night-only performance of ‘Gene Kelly: A Life in Music’.  

The show is a mesmerising trip down memory lane, with a combination of film clips, stories and live performance highlighting the legendary dancer, director and choreographer Gene Kelly – who celebrated and popularised dance within mainstream cinema.  

Leading the orchestra, is musical conductor extraordinaire Neil Thomson, who has worked with orchestras across the world.  

He's currently Principal Conductor and Artistic Director at Orquestra Filarmônica de Goiás (Philharmonic Orchestra of Goiás). 

Thomson told Jack Tame he has a personal connection with this show, having done a many of the films live with symphony orchestra around 10-15 years ago. 

“I was booked to do Singing in the Rain at the Albert Hall,” he said, explaining that it was the first time the film had been done in that format. 

“About a month before the show, I got this email and the title was ‘From Mrs Gene Kelly’,” he revealed. 

“And I had this very friendly note just saying she was going to be introducing the show, and it would be nice to meet me, and everything.” 

Thomson says that he and Patricia got on rather well, and began to work together more often, leading to this very show highlighting the extent of Gene Kelly’s musical talent. 

“The films have been absolutely scrubbed up,” he told Tame. 

“You’ve never seen prints like it. I mean, it’s fantastic, they’re so clean. The sound is so clean.”

Kevin Milne has an old sign hanging up in his garage.  

He picked it up from a garage sale as a curiosity, but it came from an Auckland Pub in the 1980’s. 

The sign states that any known gang member or person wearing gang patches or emblems will not be permitted in the hotel.  

Kevin’s always found it a bit funny, and he’s wondering why people would feel safer not knowing if there’s a gang member next to them.

From Here to the Great Unknown by Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough  

Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley tells her whole story for the first time in this raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir faithfully completed by her daughter, Riley Keough. 
 
In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir. 
 
A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and grieved. 
 
Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, laid in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them. About getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom as she ran towards his body on the floor. About living in Los Angeles with her mother, getting sent to school after school, always kicked out, always in trouble. About her singular, lifelong relationship with Danny Keough, about being married to Michael Jackson, what they shared in common. About motherhood. About deep addiction. About ever-present grief. Riley knew she had to fulfill her mother's wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, to the world. 
 
To make her mother known. 
 
This extraordinary book is composed of both Lisa Marie's and Riley's voice, a mother and daughter communicating across the transom of death as they try to heal each other. Profoundly moving and deeply revealing, From Here to the Great Unknown is a book like no other-the last words of the only child of a true legend. 

  

In Too Deep by Lee Child and Andrew Child  

Reacher had no idea where he was. No idea how he had got there. But someone must have brought him. And shackled him. And whoever had done those things was going to rue the day. That was for damn sure. 

Jack Reacher wakes up, alone, in the dark, handcuffed to a makeshift bed. His right arm has suffered some major damage. His few possessions are gone. He has no memory of getting there. 

The last thing Reacher can recall is the car he hitched a ride in getting run off the road. The driver was killed. 

His captors assume Reacher was the driver's accomplice and patch up his wounds as they plan to make him talk. 

A plan that will backfire spectacularly . . .
