Kiwi singer-songwriter Greg Johnson is celebrating his 60th birthday with a career-spanning national tour.

His new upcoming album Somenight, Somewhere is out this October, but the tour will cover decades of hits from over the course of his career.

He says he's been reflecting on his career over the years, and he's learned a lot about his own creative abilities. 

"There's a consistent thing I've come to understand about myself, and that is that the one constant I've had ever since I can absolutely remember is music."

TV investigator David Lomas is set to discover more answers and reunite families in his new local documentary series.

David Lomas Breakthrough involves the investigative reporter going to great lengths - and often great distances - to find family members who've have lost touch with a particular blood relative.

Ahead of the series debuting on Three, he explained he's lost count of how many reunions he's formed, both on and off the air.

"We've done a heck of a lot, we've put a lot of people together who have approached us - and one person doesn't want to do it or the story, from a television perspective, doesn't quite stack up."

The Keeper by Tana French, who is one of my all time favourite authors. This is the 3rd in a trilogy which began with The Searcher and then The Hunter but you can read this new one without needing to read the others (although they’re so good I would highly recommend it). Cal Hooper, the retired Chicago detective is back, with the village of Ardnakelty in crisis as a young woman is found dead just as a local big shot has plans for the town. Factions are rife, with many residents predicting housing developments, data farms or some other modern atrocity and Cal is caught up in a protest against plans which threaten their rural way of life. This is full of terrific characters, entirely believable themes, and some exceptional turns of phrase. 

Bonfire of the Murdochs by Gabriel Sherman. It was widely known that Rupert Murdoch favoured his son Lachlan as the heir to his empire, to the point where he attempted to remove Lachlan’s three siblings from the trust which had been in place for years, in order to anoint him as the rightful successor - and paid his children a billion dollars each to go quietly, but they rebelled and took the case to court. This is the story of one of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful families caught up in lawsuits, betrayals, and revenge. It has been described as being Shakespearian in its tragedy - a family ripped apart by the very man who created their empire. It makes for a fascinating read.
