They have given you the chance to let them know the songs you’d most like to hear and to let them know if it’s dedicated to someone special. They’ll be performing the top-voted songs on the night and sharing a few of the special messages and tributes they receive along the way.

Sir Peter Blake was one of New Zealand’s most celebrated yachtsman – leading teams and New Zealand to victory (wearing his famous red socks!) in some of the world’s most challenging sailing events. Having spent his life on the ocean, he was also a passionate and relentless champion for the environment.

To celebrate this legendary Kiwi hero, don your red socks (or red clothes) and join us for a ‘Big Night In’ to watch ‘Blakey’ – a documentary about Sir Peter’s life on the ocean, including rare, archived footage and interviews with friends, family and crew members. The movie will be available below, from 4.00pm on Friday 22 October, so you can watch it when it suits you on Friday afternoon or later in the evening.
