Hard News: Music is coming home, in reply to Russell Brown,
And a BIG shout out to Brian Feary from Melted Ice Cream for making this happen.
BLE lineup includes Violet French, perhaps better know for her work with bands such as Kool Aid but with a sweet voice which really comes into its own when she's solo.

Speaker: Lockdown? Day? Whatever the…, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Aah, Marc Riley, great memories of times past. I note he's played (more than once) the fabulous Oh Canada by Nadia Reid!

Ever since my daughter won a copy off Music 101 recently, I've been listening quite a bit on the sly to Benee. Pretty inventive video too.

Some of you may have heard that the musician Peter Stapleton passed away in Dunedin on March 22. He was in the Vacuum, Pin Group and the Terminals to name but a few bands.
Here's some footage that surfaced in the last few days, Peter with Roy Montgomery, Helen Greenfield and Mikey Summerfield, from Dec 2013, a Lou Reed tribute.

While there you also have two (2) days left to watch the excellent
’Rumble: The American Indians who rocked the world’Thx Ian for tip. Always wanted to see this and may even squeeze in Gimme Danger again. Oh gosh, and Radio Birdman too, I'm in heaven!

Hard News: MUSIC: Lockdown Grooves, in reply to Matthew Littlewood,
Nice to hear from you Matthew. Yes Nadia Reid was also one of the first to do a Facebook concert - the first Sat in quarantine - in lieu of a cancelled Dunedin gig.
Delaney Davidson also canned his upcoming southern tour. But we got this instead, a live rendition of 'Purea Nei' sung with Marlon Williams - snuck in in time, in a church in Le Bons Bay.

It was an inspired choice. 'Why Can't I Touch It?' is such a great song
Wonderful song, rapidly becoming my Buzzcocks favourite. Before it's time? After it's time? I dunno. Just fabulous playing on the turntable 'one louder'!

Thanks Grant, and Blair's been in touch. I liked the L.E.D.s - Rumba from We Are the LEDs is a great track ...

He's produced some fantastic stuff recently, eh Ian? As his recent Audioculture profile also shows, that track record goes all the way back to All Fall Down and Creeley to Is Blair planning any live outings? Rarer than Terminals' gigs! I recall that ripper show he did at the Darkroom (late 2015?) - but not much since?
