Today I am writing about a key behind-the-scenes Flying Nun-associated personality, rather than a record release by an artist. There have been a few important people associated with the label over the years helping to keep the thing...

RIP Mr Doug Hood. Instigator of home grown Kiwi Music and world legend!

Tragic news today with the loss of another music legend Mr. Doug Hood. Just click on this fantastic AudioCulture link to see in photos and our music icons reporting their absolute Aroha and respect for Dougs dedicated work in establishing so much more in Kiwi Music!

Although my band management of Katharticus has ended, I will still share my grand images of Kathartipuss.

Half hour RNZ broadcast yesterday on their Sunday 101 show. Worth a listen to as the topic was broadly 'The Dunedin Sound.' Gosh, I wish that I could right here and now be developing my music opportunity's with the current activities mentioned. Back in 'my day' trying as a female to organise our band in a s*x and age discrimination era. Too young at 19 to get a gig. Then it was 20 years old to get into venues, not 18 with the all age events like now.

Giving the Dunedin Sound a shakeup: The future of the indie Ōtepoti scene The Ōtepoti arts scene has long had a gloriously independent fertile, multi-generational, cross art form approach. But is that culture - once famously dubbed the Dunedin Sound - under threat? Many creatives are concerned. They came of age in the city from the 1980s through to the 2010s, and cite fa...

Guess where I will be this Sunday?

Do you love cats? or maybe your kids do? Are you looking for a great family friendly event to go to? Look no further! See all kinds of cat breeds from curly Devons to majestic Maine C***s. Watch the judging. Enjoy a coffee and some yummy food from food trucks outside. Check out the raffles and cool cat related gear to buy. Honestly what's not to like and where you can you find something nice to do for $15 for a family?? Yes we have Eftpos.

Clad in cat clothing with small accessory of a limp kitty is the unmistakable face and here body of Rock n Roll. Swapped his guitar for a baby feline with his lyrical statement as seen below. The Rolling Stones new song released today called 'All the Rage' with lyrics of "I don't need your designer drugs, I don't want your bad co***ne." Shame cats didn't get a mention!

Last weekend I ventured down to Balclutha in South Otago. Here is a tasty teaser of what I was up to. Caught SIX60 on their final gig of their 'The Grassroots Tour NZ' Of course knowing me, there is a lot more yet to come!

When the King Loser documentary came to town with a live gig featuring Chris Heazlewood in 'Cash Guitar', I offered to film their set in Dunedin's historic Regent Theatre. This was for my respect of my friend Celia Mancini, (RIP) who was most appreciative of my photos and videos of her and her band, King Loser, in 2017. Our rock & roll spirit as mature women was an obvious connection. 'Lay Down' was the last song and because of the vocal strength and performance of the four wahines (women) on stage, I felt that it was a homage to Celia Mancini. She was the singer/base/keys in King Loser and the leading lady in the King Loser music documentary selected for the New Zealand Film Festival. Celia, was certainly in the house in spirit and also her poster girl stage presence. 'Cash Guitars ' consists of Billy Foster on drums, Mick Elborado on bass, Connie Benson on guitar, Lainie Henderson keys and vocals, Poppy Theyers synth and vocals, Deirdre Newall vocals, Chris Heazlewood guitar and vocals.
As Chris said "Deirdre Newall joining us onstage to bring it bigger."
Her guest appearance was for this song and her regular band is 'Tiny Pieces of Eight.'

Not too often do I blow my own trumpet. Believe it or not I am naturally a shy person.
