Gig Review: James Taylor (February 5, Napier)

James Taylor Church Road Winery, Napier Sunday, February 5 If there was ever any doubt this was a perfect combination of singer and setting it was quashed as soon as James Taylor bounded onto the stage and praised the venue and bright blue sky a handful of times in and around the opening numbers. James […]

Stubs: #156 – Together In Concert: Tim Finn Dave Dobbyn Bic Runga, Martinborough, 2010

The first Finn/Runga/Dobbyn tour was a huge success – but I thought it was something of a disaster and when they announced there’d be a 10th Anniversary version I figured it would be a massive success but I wasn’t that amped about attending – more a job than a perk. I’m not sure if it […]

Stubs: # 56 – The Beach Boys, Napier, 1999

Look, Hawke’s Bay’s Mission Concert is a giant embarrassment – I’ve been a bunch of times (usually as occupational-hazard); been puked on, nearly been in fights – more times than at any other venue, in any other city – and it’s always the most ungrateful audience.
