Splashmin — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 06:42:56 +0000

Inspired by his baby son, Tiki Taane has written a beautiful and melodic song as a gift for all New Zealand children.

Starship Lullaby is the first single from the upcoming album In The World Of Light, (due for release in March 2011). All proceeds from every download of Starship Lullaby will be donated to Starship Children’s Hospital.

“I wrote this song for my son, Charlie Te Marama – I’m always singing and playing the guitar and it totally calms him down. One day when he was 3 months old, I was jamming some random chords and noticed he got really excited, every time I played them he went nuts. So off to the studio I went to piece the song together, and after a few days I had fleshed out the beginnings of the Starship Lullaby.

New GURL and a possible frequency change

Splash FM began broadcasting over 2 years ago on 88.2 MHz from Onetangi on Waiheke Island. Splash FM , along with Waiheke Wireless from the Lazy Lounge moved to 88.1 to make room for Waiheke Radio to use 88.3 from Seaview Rd. Now with the new GURL (General User Radio License) pending there is a real possibility that Waiheke Radio will lose 88.3. New frequencies will be made available and Splash FM will likely change frequency. In the meantime we will stay on 88.1 with our new mast and antenna so stay tuned.
