The Prime Minister is set to roll out the welcome mat to New Zealand on her trade delegation to Asia. Jacinda Ardern is leading a trade delegation to Singapore this morning. She'll then head to Japan later this week. Asia New Zealand Foundation Executive Director Simon Draper told Tim Dower they're both countries we have pretty good broad relationships with already. “We already are exporting quite a lot to them, so I think when she says ‘open for business’ she’s really talking about tourists and business people coming here.” Travellers from Singapore and Japan will be able to come here from the second of May. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Simon Draper: When she says 'open for business' she means tourists coming to NZ

Today’s episode features the legendary head of A&amp;R at Virgin Records during the glory years, Simon Draper. He was responsible for the signing and development of an enormously wide range of successful artists including Mike Oldfield, The Human League, Culture Club, XTC, The Sex Pistols, PiL, The Skids, Magazine, OMD, Magazine, Simple Minds and Heaven 17 amongst many others.  His intuition for talent and his willingness to take creative and financial risks enabled Virgin Records to become, for a while, ‘the coolest label on Earth’…  Ladies and gentlemen, I present the massively underrated talent of Simon Draper, without whom my and many other careers would probably never have happened…
