This week we talk Lower Hutt Art Trail with one of its organisers Louise Thomas – and hear about her artistic path into photography and painting. The trail runs 17th – 18th October 2026 with 50+ artists sharing their work – get the trail map and artist profiles by checking out @lowerhuttarttrail
We hear more in the 1979 history on the late Annie Huggan on her memories of Petone as a Millworker and Petone Mayor. Thanks to Hutt City Libraries Heritage Centre for sharing this recording.
And there’s music from former Wainuiomata College art teacher Jenny Morris – “Body and Soul”.
