I believe that as our needs change, we possess enough intelligence and imagination to generate new solutions to meet those needs. Every single one of them. For every challenge we face as a people, as …
Tis late – nearly mid-night. I’m home after playing a gig at a friend’s house-warming-we’ve-arrived-in-Golden Bay party. Tonight, people actually danced to our music. It was Mohua Sun’s dream come true. And one little girl …
I know I’m not alone in saying this.
My body’s been asking me to slow down for a few months. It keeps saying ‘relax’ and ‘rest’ and when I do, everything just feels better. Then again, …

The old Onekaka Hall was built 100 years ago for the New Zealand Education Board. Today it stands, small, cosy and lovingly maintained. Also, though I write this with mild levels of disbelief, it can …
