Where else are you looking forward to visiting which isn't a venue?
Cafes and opshops and antique stores.
Any sage advice about surviving the silly season?
Drink lots of water, eat more than something on a cracker and make sure you've got the cash to get a cab home.
What are your plans for New Year's Eve?
I'm playing Mangawhai Tavern with Anika Moa and Hollie Smith and unlike the recent church tour we have a full band. It will be raucous and fun. Looking forward to it.
Do certain styles of music make more sense during the hot and sweaty months of summer?
Whatever makes your vodka and tonic or glass of rosé taste even better is the right music. I strongly recommend the Adults followed by Anika, Boh and Hollie and then some Fat Freddy's Drop. Just saying.
Is it tough having to work when everyone else is partying and on holiday?
The tough part is being away for a long period of time, but look who I get to travel the country with! My job is excellent.
