The Chills, Zed to fill void at Selwyn Sounds
AUSTRALIAN-based Jon
Stevens and his band have
had to pull out of the Selwyn
Sounds fifth anniversary music
festival because of Covid-19
restrictions.
He has been replaced by
the addition of two New
Zealand music icons in The
Chills and Zed for the big music
festival at Lincoln Domain on
March 6.
Promoter David Parlane said
Stevens had no choice but to stay
in Australia because of the Covid-19
restrictions and changes in
Australia and New Zealand.
Stevens said he was “absolutely
gutted” he wouldn’t be able to
headline Selwyn Sounds.
“As a proud Kiwi, I truly appreciate
all the support I receive
from my home country and look
forward to returning home soon
… Te Aroha ki te katoa”
Zed and The Chills will be part
of a who’s who of some of the
best New Zealand music talent at
Selwyn Sounds.
They will join Stan Walker,
The Jordan Luck Band, Annie
Crummer, Jason Kerrison – OP
Shop, Che Fu – Super Groove,
Rodney Fisher - Goodshirt, The
Lady Killers – Tina Cross, Jackie
Clarke and Suzanne Lynch, Hello
Sailor and the Automatic 80s.
Zed (above) and The Chills will join a stellar line-up at
Lincoln Domain on March 6.
Said Parlane: “New Zealand is
extremely fortunate to be in this
situation and many countries
around the world, artists, fans
can only wish to once again have
live music.
“The health, safety, and wellbeing
of our ticket-holders is
our No 1 priority and several
new measures have been added
to ensure this. But they can also
help by scanning the QR codes,
ensure hands are sanitised,
Bluetooth on and let us make it a
day for us all to remember. “

Readers respond to the
debate over the Otautahi
and Christchurch flags in
Lyttelton, and whether
‘Wh’ should be added to
Akaroa.
Christchurch City Council
continues to apply its ‘one
size fits all’ policy in relation
to Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū/
Banks Peninsula. Installing
banners around Lyttelton,
saying nothing more than
“Christchurch”, is in my view a
waste of $22,124 of ratepayers’
money as well as being
ineffective advertising and/or
branding by ChristchurchNZ.
When the ‘Welcome to
Historic Akaroa’ sign was
installed in 2012 containing an
image of the museum’s French
cottage, complete with fleur-delis
and ‘au revoir’ on the back,
it was criticised as not being
“French” enough. The inclusion
of harere mai was thought by
some to be inappropriate.
The use of Otautahi/
Christchurch is now well
established. It is time to use
both Maori and European place
names with regard to Ohinehou/
Lyttelton and Whakaroa/Akaroa
working in association with
Ngai Tahu and Christchurch
City Council. – V Andrews
Not just the wrong names,
but a complete lack of
creativity – white letters on
a red background – a carbon
copy of every car yard’s sale
sign. They look like someone is
trying to flog off a thing called
Christchurch at a discount price.
