Kate Tempest MFC, Wellington Monday, February 24 I’d had people asking me about Kate Tempest ever since she was announced to be part of the 2020 NZ Festival. I’d seen her five years back when she was lesser known out here and it was one of the best gigs I’ve ever seen. So all I’d […]

RNZ Reviews: August (2) 2019

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 now four years into  it or so… This […]

Gig Review: Kate Tempest (January 14, Wgtn)

Kate Tempest Bodega Thursday, January 14 Kate Tempest is a British poet, playwright, storyteller, rapper and force of nature.
