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 […]

Gig Review: Fleetwood Mac (September 12, Akld)

Fleetwood Mac Spark Arena, Auckland Thursday, September 12 I was so into this – and very nervous. I’m a mega Fleetwood Mac fan, I love all periods of the band, all versions. But it’s ten years since I last saw them (back when Lindsey Buckingham was still front and centre) and I just had to […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. Though Mick Fleetwood is clearly the […]

The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band feat. Rick Vito: Two NZ Show (March/April, 2016)

Mick Fleetwood – one of my favourite drummers – formed The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band to pay tribute not only to the ‘blues years’ of the original Fleetwood Mac but also the music Fleetwood loves; the songs he grew up with. The current line-up features Rick Vito, a hell of a player – and former […]

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 […]

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 […]

Drummers You Just Can’t Beat: # 12 – Mick Fleetwood

I’ll never understand why someone could tell you they don’t like Fleetwood Mac – and, anyway, which Fleetwood Mac are they talking about? The kick-ass blues band? The AOR supergroup? Those interesting years in the middle – the lesser-known, under-explored moments across the early 1970s where English R’n’B and American soft-rock was being combined to […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1335

John Mayall, The World of John Mayall (1970) I can’t claim to be any huge John Mayall fan but he’s interesting in being a person who stood and held the gate open, you always need someone like that. In saying I’m no huge fan I’ve certainly done my time listening to his music – my […]
