Brilliant Weekend

I’m writing at work feeling like death after a brilliant first weekend of The Alternative Country Tour which I’m doing just with my young guitarist ‘Curious Finn’.

My mum just TXT’d me asking how it went and knowing she’s an appreciator of irony I wrote:

5hrs slp 3 nites in a row, [...]

With the new Tubecasts finally up and running and the website running more smoothly in general now, and therefore my podcasts becoming more regular also, I find myself wondering about the relevance of a written blog?
Which is strange because it’s not like since the advent of TV I find myself wondering about the relevance of [...]

Hey folks at long last here are the umpteenth-times-promised lyrics to the song most infamously known as Parihaka. This song came to me in a flash of inspiration as i went for my evening walk. by the time I was half way down the hill i had to run back home and write it all [...]

Hey folks

Hey folks
 
We still have two more shows so this is a little premature but I wanted to make sure those of you who are regular checkers wouldn’t feel neglected and say “thank you so much to the amazing audiences, radio listeners and website visitors who’ve been overwhelming us with support, encouragement, inspiration and determination to [...]

BLOG 2: Playing to no one
No one wants to play to no one (I think?) and gigs where no one turns up have, for me, been traditionally ‘no fun’.
None the less you still go on stage, not only to perform that night but also to continue booking shows and agreeing to perform again. A bad [...]

BLOG 1: getting started.
Kia Ora everyone
Thank you all for being so patient waiting for this website and thank you to those impatient folks who constantly harassed me to get this one cranking! I’d like to apologize to those loyal friends and fans who kept checking the Myspace page for updates only to find it had [...]
