1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: I love this the return of the Ashburton Silver Band,

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: and Gavin is the spokesperson. We touched on what's been

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: a busy old season for them. They've done the circuit

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: of local rest homes, a couple of them quite big concerts,

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: so that's neat that they're a headline band of sorts,

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: a headline act. Been playing at the library. You might

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: have seen them on the back of the truck at

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: the Center parade and also on the back of the

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: truck doing the rounds in some local streets, which is

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: another tradition which is pretty neat to see happen. Continue

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: Gavin with the help of the cadets, so they enable

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: all this to happen. Theyse are like crowd control, so

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: many fans are they're the collectors, they're the most valuable.

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely a bit of a fundraiser for the band, is it.

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is fundraiser. Gives us money to do what

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: we do for the rest of the year. Yeah.

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: So it helps with a growing band, I hear.

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are growing, but yeah, so that's great.

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: So who are our new members that's.

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: Clear on a trumpet, uh, William Wallace and Dave Christian.

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Christian he used to be my high school teacher.

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they're still doing that.

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah is he? Oh noice, there's a musical family, then.

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: Yes it is.

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's become a bit of a tradition as well,

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: a beast to ask, how are your spuds this year?

27
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: They molded this year, they weren't last year.

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: Mold on top of them. Right.

29
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: I didn't do it last year because we went overseas

30
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 2: and when we come back the spuds were about foot

31
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: ice too late.

32
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Right flat. Do you notice do you notice in the taste?

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: No difference in the taste. It's just that they grow

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: more spuds when they're molded. Great, great, that's the theory.

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: Anyway, Free spuds Christmas Day with the mint that chef's cast, No,

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: I reckon. They're best the following day, Boxing Day morning.

37
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: You know, when you've got leftovers, you slice them up,

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: fry them with the ham and copious amounts of butter.

39
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: Oh mate, so good. So what would you like to

40
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: perform for us this morning? Clearly you've had

41
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: The taking
