Gary’s guide to living on the Hibiscus Coast

Local board chair Gary Brown kicked off a new online show called Guide to Better Living.

Although he has a full time role as the Hibiscus & Bays Local Board chair, Gary Brown continues his previous role as an entertainer, whenever he can, including singing, being a DJ and Austin Powers impersonator.

That kind of work has fallen away under the Covid-19 red setting, so recently Gary changed tack to take part in an online lifestyle programme called Guide to Better Living.

Appearing as himself, Gary’s Coastal Living segment was the first in the series, and is designed to promote Ōrewa. 

The show was created by Monique Bradley and Peter Ward of Yourfix Communications and will be televised on Sky Channel 83, Face TV.

Face TV is funded by charitable and community grants or organisations wanting to make television content. 

Content creator Monique says the original idea was to producea weekly showcase solely about coastal living.

“Sadly Covid put the handbrake on that,” Monique says.

She says making it a segment in a broader lifestyle show is more manageable.

The idea is to share positive stories from, and about, local places and people.

Gary says he has also been invited to interview Auckland celebrities for another segment called Your Auckland. 

The show airs on Thursday nights at 7.30pm on Face and simulcast live streams via Facebook and Youtube
