Hi there. I am a Wellington NZ based musician and craftsperson.
I mostly play guitar, and a bit of bass and drums and taonga puoro (musical instuments of the Maori). My first instrument was harmonica and then I moved on to drums and then guitar when I fell in love with blues. damn right.
I also craft taonga puoro (musical instruments of the NZ Maori) and make music with them. I was very happy to win 2nd place at the Te Puia National Concerto Taonga Puoro Competition 2006.
I play in a trio called COASTER with some mates Troy and Richie (see below). I am also involved with a group called TAHU which combines taonga puoro and classical guitar.
Lately I have been playing taonga puoro with JESS CHAMBERS PROJECT and bass with ROSY TIN TEACADDY. Bloody good fun all round.
you won't believe it but I threw out your measurements! Maybe I'll measure you up at that party of yours. ;)
Still mixing the album next two weeks but will fit in a suit for you somewhere in next coupla months. Let me know when the wait is beyond a joke and I'll kick into action : )
Hey Dazzlemeister. Thanks ever so much for the stonkingly good soup and cheese and bread and warm yummies. Think i fell asleep on your kick-arse chair and left behind my orange chiffon scarf. ..
Monsieur Dazzler - oh how your charming face is missed! Pleased to hear you didn't need dragging up from any deep South Island cave, nor molested by the natives but safe and sound back in Wellywood. Whew. It must have been touch and go there for a mo.
Jose Gonzalez gig went spiffingly. Your dazzle alas missed. See you soon for a chit-chat and whatsit? I hope. H x
Hey Bro, is your pic a decaying avo? In Vancouver til Xmas then onto the West Indies at this stage and maybe Cuba. California was very nice, went there, back in june and Seattle is quite fine too. Been just working hard in B.C . I say Welli should land on Vancouver and show it a thing or two, need more Kiwi's to ruckit up here!! If you want to buy a long lost second hand Montley Crue t-shirt, they go for $60 can bucks, which is now worth more than the green back. Oh yes, planning to go to Trinidad!! Hope all is well. Nanook from the North.
