Brother and sister Terry and Diane Langford have hosted Saturday in the Country since 2000.
Terry, a Golden Bay dairy farmer, is also a whizz with sound production, stage lighting, carpentry, metal work and wiring. He provides his expertise to the Tākaka Drama Society and to local schools for their drama and concert performances. Terry also organises the sound and lighting for the Golden Valley Country Music Awards each Queen’s Birthday Weekend and the Mardi Gras on Waitangi Weekend. Diane is a full-time library assistant at the Tākaka Memorial Library and helps run the Costume Hire, which is a branch of the Drama Society, and is an occasional actor.
Terry and Diane are both members of the Marble Mountain Country Music Club. Terry sets up the sound and both play in the band; Terry on bass and Diane on rhythm guitar.
Saturday in the Country is sponsored by Solly’s in Golden Bay and airs every Saturday from 12 noon – 2:00pm and replays Thursday mornings at 4:00am.
