Here's a track from his brilliant new album Arctic Tales Divide, there a lot of great music coming out of New Zealand at the moment. I think there's more tracks on his website to hear www.andrewkeoghan.com

Just heard that Todd Rundgren is coming to New Zealand! Almost fell over in shock!
24th September Power station Auckland, will be an amazing night.
Any of the WORD massive in NZ want to meet up for a few beers before-hand?

Seems Dennis Hopper has weeks to live after his cancer spread to his bones. Very sad indeed, one of our generation's greatest actors in my opinion, here's a couple of reasons why:
Blue Velvet

True Romance

Here's a very wonderful video clip for 'Fork In The Road', apparently the title track from Neil Young's new album. God bless you Sir Neil!

Check out this wonderful song by Solomon's Seal, the beat is windscreen wipers...it's fantastic!
The song's called Sleeping In The Car and it's beautiful!

I remember reading a post recently about Gary Clark from the late great Danny Wilson playing in a wedding band. A little sad for such a brilliant talent I thought. Well it seems that Gary has found gainful employment and success in the U.S. working with American singer Ferras [apparently pronounced Fer -AHSS!]. His single 'Hollywood's Not America' was the highest charting single on the Hot AC chart since John Mayer! Hopefully the wolf will be kept from the door as they say !

Last night I was honoured to attend, what has to be one of the most memorable gigs of my life. Sometimes things just fall into place and last night was one of those nights! The venue was a small cafe in a place called Leigh, about an hour and a half drive north of Auckland, New Zealand.
The band was Crowded House.
Neil and co have been rehearsing songs for their forthcoming album and took the opportunity to road test ten songs along with some CH classics in a wonderful setting. Finn was clearly in a fantastic mood as he saluted the 200 or some people with a class of single malt. What a night, if the live performances of the new tracks are anything to go by, the new album will be a stonker!
