Combining music and books: New project 'Music to Read By'

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 15 October 2025

After being closed for three years, next month will see Auckland's Point Chevalier library reopen. And opening day will be more than a ribbon cutting- it's going to have its own soundtrack. Musicians Dave Khan & David Ward, who have composed music for films like "Power of the dog" & worked with Marlon Williams, Reb Fountain & Dave Dobbin, are behind the project called 'Music to Read By'. To explain what that is Dave and Dave join Jesse with guitars in tow.
