RNZ Reviews: January 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… For […]Archive

I’ve been having a chat on RNZ once a month or so for a few years now – as part of Afternoons with Jesse Mulligan. But the other week I was invited to speak on the summer show – Karyn Hay & Friends. Karyn is a broadcasting legend – and so it was a thrill to speak with her […]Archive

RNZ Music Feature: The Music of George Harrison
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. Most recently I co-interviewed Steve Gadd! And then, Jesse Mulligan asked me a question – a silly question: Was I the right person to do a feature about George Harrison? […]Archive

I’m usually on RNZ once a month to have a chat about some new albums. But the other day I got the call up to present a Music Feature for the Afternoons show.

RNZ Reviews: Bob Dylan Gig Review (August, 2018)
Earlier this year I got hooked – all over again – on Bob Dylan. I’m never not hooked on Bob Dylan by the way. I was turned onto his music as a teenager, or maybe at age 12 even. And since then I’ve been a fan. But obviously, when you listen to music obsessively, you can carry a […]Archive

RNZ Feature: Music Feuds
I’m usually on RNZ once a month to have a chat about some new albums. But the other day I got the call up to present a Music Feature for the Afternoons show. The topic was Music Feuds – and so I discussed The Beatles/Yoko Ono, Simon & Garfunkel, Marvin Gaye’s divorce from Anna Gordy […]Archive

My RNZ Album Reviews for 2017
For the last couple of years I’ve been turning up once a month or so and reviewing a couple of albums on RNZ’s Afternoon Show with Jesse Mulligan. A couple of times there’s been a fill-in host, but mostly it’s been me with Jesse. He’s nice to talk with about music – he seems to […]Archive
