RNZ Feature: The Music of 1990
For my first regular music feature on RNZ for 2020 I decided to look at the music of 1990 – or at least some of the music from the start of the year and the big hits. Guilty pleasures, pop, rock – some enduring hits and some best forgotten. It was fun to look at […]Archive

RNZ Feature: The Music of Randy Newman
I’m usually on RNZ once a month to have a chat about some new albums. But now and then I present features on the show too. Last year I had nearly an hour to explore the music of George Harrison.
