RNZ Reviews: March 2021

Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. I’ve been doing it for about five years now. Most months. This was my first time in for 2021. This month I talked about two cool new albums I’ve been playing a lot. First up the latest album from The […]

RNZ Reviews: December 2020

Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. These things start – randomly and stop in much the same way. I hope to keep doing this. For a while at least. I think I started in December of 2015, so this most recent session probably marked five years. […]

RNZ Features: The Beatles one by one…

About once a month or so I have a long chat on RNZ about a particular music or a theme – for their regular Tuesday music features. Over the last two years, I’ve been slowly building up a chat on each of The Beatles. It started late November in 2018. Jesse Mulligan asked me if […]
