Townshend
Pete
Townshend is the guitarist, principal songwriter and creative force behind rock
band The Who, and has been one of popular music’s most influential figures. In
his autobiography, Who I Am (Harper Collins, ISBN: 978-0007466030), he tells
his own story for the first time - a chronicle of a difficult childhood,
ambition, controversy, relentless perfectionism, rock ‘n’ roll excess, and
emotional and spiritual turmoil.
8:45 Ray
Waru
Ray Waru
has been involved in the New Zealand television and radio industries for over
30 years. His first book is Secrets & Treasures: Our Stories Told Through
the Objects at Archives New Zealand (Random House, ISBN: 978-1-86979-689-1).
9:05 Bruce

9:45 Art
with Mary Kisler
Mary Kisler
is the Senior Curator, Mackelvie Collection, International Art, at the Auckland
Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki. She will discuss leading painters of the sixteenth,
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries whose works are featured in the
exhibition, Portrait of Spain: Masterpieces from the Prado, at the Queensland
Art Gallery (until 4 November 2012). It is the largest and most
significant international loan the TheMuseoNacional del Prado, Madrid, has
ever undertaken, and features over 100 masterpieces from one of the most
revered collections of European painting in the world. They tell the story of
the evolution of painting in Spain over three and a half centuries.

Playing Favourites with Jon Toogood
Jon
Toogood’s latest musical endeavour is worlds away from his more than 20 years
as the frontman of much-loved rock group Shihad. He’s taking to the stage at
Auckland’s Silo Theatre, along with Julia Deans, Tama Waipara, and Jennifer
Ward-Lealand, to perform the music of the great Jacques Brel. And his
side project, The Adults, is about to release its live collaboration album with
the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra.
11:05 Geoff
Norman
Geoff Norman is the editor
of Buller's Birds of New Zealand: the Complete Work of JG Keulemans (Te Papa
Press, ISBN: 978-1-877385-88-9), an all-new edition of the classic 19th century
ornithological paintings of John Gerrad Keulemans. Images from Geoff’s book can
be seen on our website.
11:40 Mark
Staufer
Expat New
Zealander, and now Hollywood screenwriter, Mark Staufer has created The
Numinous Place, which he calls the world’s first multi-dimensional work of
fiction. The Numinous Place takes storytelling beyond the eBook to the realm of
multimedia - in an experience that involves watching, reading, listening and
interacting. The project has been funded on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter
and the first installment is due to launch in December.
