Don McGlashan is one of New Zealand's favorite songwriters, both at home- with five entries in APRA's "NZ's Top 100 Songs Of All Time", and abroad - the Mutton Birds album "Envy Of Angels" made the UK Sunday Times top ten list when it was released in 1997.
His first band, Blam Blam Blam, had a string of top 20 singles in the early eighties and a No. 4 album. Don's song "Don't Fight it, Marsha, It's Bigger Than Both Of Us" won Song of the Year in the 1982 NZ Recording Industry Awards.
After a year in New York as a drummer with avant-garde dance company Laura Dean Dancers and Musicians, he returned to New Zealand and founded the music/theatre duo "The Front Lawn" with Harry Sinclair. The Front Lawn toured Australasia, Europe and America from 1985-90, picking up many awards and rave reviews, including being called "a superb duo" by New York Times music critic Jon Pareles.
During the four years that The Mutton Birds lived in London, McGlashan's songs traveled well, even ending up in novels by best-selling Scottish writers Ian Rankin and Christopher Brookmyre. After the release of the band's fourth album "Rain, Steam & Speed", he was hailed by The Sunday Times as "one of Britain's most intelligent, poetic songwriters".
The first solo Don McGlashan album 'Warm Hand' is available now, on Arch Hill Records.

Remember when trouble’s lasted only as long as the story books end And pages were drawn And broken glass still reflects memories continuing Up the very same stairs
And still I wonder where did we go wrong? I laughed with you just yesterday And yet that feels so long I still sleep in the sheets we fell beneath And still I wonder what did we do wrong? It never seemed to feel that way I never was that strong But who am I to speak Were we in love for just a week
And time just stands still Without familiar smiles filling my cup to the brim As I drink it all in With pane so think, looking out to see you’re the only one Being embraced by the sun
heya, just a little note to say we got this album thing released on monday! we'll be out playing in March/April, hope to catch you then... x a. s. z. a
