Maui wowie...
With Tearepa Kahi’s Poi E: The Story of Our Song poised for general release, it seems we’re paying some overdue attention to a proper legend.
...also nice to note that local parish legend (and beyond), Joe Wylie's original art for the Poi E album cover is held in the National Collection and is 'zoomable' in high res here!

And fake tickets if need be
The perils of hand drawn tickets became clear at the reconciliation of tickets after The Fall's University gig - a completely hand drawn facsimile of Chris Knox's ticket design - all done in biro on matching coloured card showed up - How we laughed, I think even Doug was impressed - kudos for the effort!
