Stubs: # 245 – Fleetwood Mac, Auckland, 2019
I wasn’t sold on seeing Fleetwood Mac again straight away – which is to say I was real happy for anyone that was planning to go, but I’d seen them and even if it wasn’t with Christine it was with Lindsey! (And I’m Team Lindsey all the way). But I’m also a Neil Finn fan […]Archive

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 # 406
Fleetwood Mac, The Alternate Tango In The Night (2018) There’s a great moment, in that Fleetwood Mac doco I’ve watched so many times – Fleetwood Mac at 21 – where the interviewer obviously relays a story from Lindsey Buckingham to Stevie Nicks; she either sees the footage or hears from the filmmaker that Lindsey saw […]Archive

A Bunch of Rumours: Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours
Christine McVie believes it was her estranged husband John who made the call that the new record Fleetwood Mac was creating sounded like “a bunch of rumours”. And so, Rumours was what it was called. Rumours came into my life when I was about 11 years old; by that stage it had been out a decade […]Archive

Stevie Nicks: Bella Donna (Deluxe Edition)
Stevie Nicks Bella Donna (Deluxe Edition) Rhino Entertainment Company It was an interesting time – and very creative – for Fleetwood Mac and its members post-Rumours. The popular narrative suggests they never bettered it, but they did something much better in a way, they diversified. Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood both made solo records in […]Archive

Gig Review: The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band (Wgtn, April 1)
The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band Opera House Friday, April 1 Just a few months after Fleetwood Mac wrapped a nearly two-year world tour, the band’s leader and spirit-animal, drummer Mick Fleetwood, is back on the road with his side-project dedicated to the original Mac’s blues years, the Peter Green-era.

The Best Guitarist in The World: # 11 – Lindsey Buckingham
You never even used to see this guy considered for The Best Guitarist lists…and, actually, maybe you still don’t, come to think of it…but I reckon something changed when the core version of Fleetwood Mac, the classic FM-music version of the group, reformed for Bill Clinton’s inauguration and started a victory-lap tour of sorts. (One […]Archive

The Best Guitarist in The World: # 5 – Peter Green
I have been obsessed with Fleetwood Mac – all versions of the band – since I was about 10 years old. People like to focus on the early blues years now, a different band entirely. But I still love the FM-radio version of Fleetwood Mac. As the documentary Fleetwood Mac at 21 puts it, “they […]Archive

Stubs: # 38 – Fleetwood Mac, New Plymouth, 2009
We drove across, in convoy – two cars, to a house we rented for a weekend. Another couple of friends drove from a different direction and met us there. We had the Friday night in the house – a great place, much merriment – and then on the Saturday we had a wander around the […]Archive
