"Tucked away on the northwest tip of Ireland, Donegal has long been dubbed the nation’s “forgotten county.” No matter where you’re starting from, be it Dublin, Belfast, Shannon or Cork, tripping to Donegal is not a passing-through sort of experience, but a far-flung destination you’ve purposefully decided to visit.   

"From rugged cliffs, towering sea stacks and quiet coves to charismatic heritage towns and whispers of the past crowning the landscape, wind-whipped County Donegal fast cast me under its spell."

Josh Emett is serving New Zealand up on a plate.  

The Kiwi chef’s worked culinary magic in the restaurants of Gordon Ramsey, earning four Michelin Stars before returning home to establish iconic restaurants like Gilt Brasserie and The Oyster Inn.  

There’s no doubt the world-renowned chef has played a role in shaping New Zealand’s modern dining scene.  

But this year sees him in a very special role as Sail GP’s Culinary Collaborator – responsible for showcasing the country’s cuisine those descending on Auckland for the event. 

Emett told Jack Tame he’s still in the scheming phase, but he’s working with a great catering company and they’re going to deliver some excellence.

Ed Sheeran kicked off his Loop Tour last night in Auckland, and he had a few tricks up his sleeve.  

With a 10 storey tall screen behind the stage and a bridge that allowed him to perform in the middle of Go Media Stadium, it was a new level of spectacle.  

Chris Schulz was at the show last night, and he told Jack Tame Sheeran took it to levels he hadn’t seen before.

The Last Encore by Rebecca Heath  

A remote island.  

It's been eighteen years since the accidental explosion that killed The Cedrics Band lead singer Jonny Rake, and a special documentary is bringing the rest of the band back to play together for the first time.  

With Jonny's daughter, Monet, stepping into her father's role, and a private island secured as the perfect reunion backdrop, it's set to be a special occasion. A reunion concert. But everyone remembers what happened on that fatal night differently, and as questions are asked about the band's rise and sudden tragic fall, not everyone likes the answers.  

Old wounds reopen and tempers flare... Then a body is found. A killer on stage. They're trapped on the island together until help arrives, but that might be too late. Because Jonny's death wasn't an accident, and someone wants revenge. 

  

Some Bright Nowhere by Ann Packer  

Eliot and his wife Claire have been happily married for nearly four decades. They’ve raised two children in their sleepy Connecticut town and have weathered the inevitable ups and downs of a long life spent together. But eight years after Claire was diagnosed with cancer, the end is near, and it is time to gather loved ones and prepare for the inevitable. 

Over the years of Claire’s illness, Eliot has willingly—lovingly—shifted into the role of caregiver, appreciating the intimacy and tenderness that comes with a role even more layered and complex than the one he performed as a devoted husband. But as he focuses on settling into what will be their last days and weeks together, Claire makes an unexpected request that leaves him reeling. In a moment, his carefully constructed world is shattered. 

What if your partner’s dying wish broke your heart? How well do we know the deepest desires of those we love dearly? As Eliot is confronted with this profound turning point in his marriage and his life, he grapples with the man and husband he’s been, and with the great unknowns of Claire’s last days.
