The Vinyl Countdown # 174
Sir Yehudi Menuhin & Stephane Grappelli, Top Hat (1981) I often talk about – and think about – the Stephane Grappelli concert I was lucky to see back in the late 1990s. One of the very best gigs of my lifetime. And it all started when my mum introduced me to Stephane Grappelli and Yehudin […]Archive

DJ Setlist: San Fran, Summer Sounds on the Balcony, Saturday, December 28, 2019
I was back at the San Fran for my annual summer BBQ/balcony session – a chance to fill the crates with all sorts and see what happens. Start slow and drifty, maybe get a dancefloor, maybe play some emo-singers and power-ballads, 80s cheese and 90s hip-hop sleaze…anything goes. So here’s what went:Archive

Playlist: DJ Set from the Spines Dreamboat Launch
Last Saturday, November 23, I played some records at the San Fran as part of the Spines’ Dreamboat album launch. One of the very few times I’ve played any records out in public this year actually. And it was a lot of fun. A great night. And based on the setlist from that night I’ve pulled together […]Archive

DJ Setlist: San Fran, Spines Dreamboat Album Release, Saturday, November 23, 2019
Great to be there on the decks in-between sets for another album release by the Spines. (Here’s where you go to buy/hear the new album by the way). A couple of years ago I played the tunes in and around the show when they released their Epidural album. And now it was time to launch […]Archive

Stubs: # 240 – Cuba Dupa, Wellington, 2015
Give me a name-tag and I’ll hide it. Lanyards. They go in my pocket. Backstage passes…even more cringe. And something with “VIP” on it. FUCK OFF! But – as you can see – I hold onto this shit. I keep the lanyards along with the ticket-stubs; I haven’t kept every single one, but a few […]Archive

Vinyl Tap: Open Deck Music Evenings in Wellington – Vinyl Tap 1 (Thurs, September 19)
Tonight, Thursday September 19, is the first “Vinyl Tap” session at The Ascot Bar in Wellington. It’s open deck DJ sessions – you turn up, you bring some records and you get allocated a slot to play some of your favourite tunes. Twenty-minute spots. Play four or five tunes, I guess. That sort of thing. Auckland […]Archive

Playlist: A Vinyl Affair’s 5th Birthday (DJ Set)
It’s been a while since I’ve offered up a wee playlist and I usually like to do them based around DJ sets – so last weekend I played some records out and about for the first time this year – it was the 5th Birthday of Wellington’s record fair – A Vinyl Affair and I was […]Archive

DJ Setlist: A Vinyl Affair – 5th Birthday, Rogue & Vagabond, 2-4pm, July 20, 2019
My first time playing records out of the house this year. And a great event – the fifth birthday for A Vinyl Affair: Wellington’s Record Fair. And though I had played records at a “A Vinyl Affair” event before it was my first time in a while and my first time ever playing some tunes at the Rogue […]Archive
