I’m a big fan of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery over in New Plymouth there. So what a great honour and treat to be asked over to play some tunes at the end of their street party. The Govett-Brewster is celebrating its 50th Birthday – the people of New Plymouth were out in the street with various bands playing throughout the afternoon and early evening – and I was there to play some tunes in the atrium at the end of the evening. So I did. And here are the name of those tunes and the artists that recorded the versions I played:
