The Vinyl Countdown # 182
V/A, The Wonderful Wireless (1982) I love the nostalgia records, the various compilations that tell you about eras and movements from before you were born; comedy records, old radio shows, the bygone era. My record collection is full of them, many inherited, some I have sought out. I’ve always been intrigued by the medium of […]Archive

Stubs: # 235 – Hand To God, Wellington, 2017
Someone asked me the other day how I got into theatre reviewing and I couldn’t really answer it. Then I remembered it was as prosaic as a newspaper editor asking me to do it. They obviously knew I’d done a book review or two and some music and they asked me to do it. Writing […]Archive

The Pink Hammer: Theatre
The Pink Hammer Direction: Conrad Newport (written by Michele Amas) Circa Theatre; Circa One (September 7 – October 5) The Pink Hammer is simply not very good. It pains me to say it as I’ve spent the last two or three years talking up almost everything I’ve seen at Circa (indeed the standard is high). […]Archive

Springsteen On Broadway: Film

Now, the same is true of a lot of the famous rock’n’rollers that grew up out of that era and firmly in public. Sir Paul of Macca is […]Archive
