attention please! i’d just like to draw your eyes for a moment to appreciate the incredible talents of my wonderful friend Tanya Carlson, and the phenomenal outfits she has wrapped me in for multiple performances & events. we first met at a wedding in 2017, and the next thing you know she’s plotting me a sequin jumpsuit to wear for a Bowie tribute show. which i just wore again for these last Liberty Stage Presents “Best Of Come Together” shows (not gonna lie, we’re both astounded it still fits! 🤣).

in short… thank you so much, TC. you make me feel like a gazillion bucks, both on stage & in the real world. 💛💛💛vive les paillettes!!!

The amazing folk at are on a serious mission to raise $1,000,000 in FOUR WEEKS to help fund Kahurangi - a new youth mental health outpatient facility in my ol’ hometown Ōtautahi/Christchurch.

Every month 400 kids (that's just in CHC!) are referred to the Child, Adolescent and Family service for help with their mental health. We need them to feel safe and hopeful for their future. The current facility is not good enough and we need a better space for our rangatahi.

With your help are going to do something about this and, thanks to the Rata Foundation, every dollar given will be matched up to $500,000. You can donate today at www.betterspace.org.nz to make a real difference in the lives of over 4,500 young people each year in Canterbury. 🩵

just sayin’…
