RNZ Feature: Fleetwood Mac
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. I followed that up with a chat about Ringo Starr and played some of his best Beatles drum bits […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1090
Fleetwood Mac, Future Games (1971) Here’s the first of the Fleetwood Mac albums to feature Bob Welch – what a sad, sad story that ended up being.

The Vinyl Countdown # 1273
Fleetwood Mac, Mystery To Me (1973) Well it’s a nice feel-good story I guess, that Christine McVie would go back on stage with Fleetwood Mac – shame she had to sing Don’t Stop but then that’s what a Fleetwood Mac gig goer in this day and age would expect. It’s nice she and the band […]Archive
