It's about 40 years too late, but I always thought this end section of the 'Herbs' tune 'Long Ago' deserved a bit of a sax solo. 🎷 🌿 *Been going through a bit of a kiwi music binge atm. Give me recs for ur favourite kiwi songs/bands/artists old or new! #nzmusic #saxophone #saxophonesolo #herbs #1980s #newzealand

Quiet late night practice learning new reels and jigs for the @ponsonbysocial gig on the 12th of March. This one's a happy reel entitled Bonnie O'Whalsey. From what info I can find it is originally from the Shetlands and is inspired by a small fishing village called Whalsey, which, was nicknamed the Bonnie Isle by fisherman in the early 19th century because of its abundance of flowers along the coastline.

I'm super excited to be playing with a brand new band, 'Keiko and The Friendly Whalers', this coming Thursday at 8-10pm at @audio.foundation . This is a part of the new(ish) curated @_theloom_ series that started up this year. 😊 I will be playing some new and old tunes as well as arrangements of some folk music that I love dearly. ❀️ I would love to see you there if you can make it out on a Thursday night! The band and I will be playing the second set of the night with @_________________michael playing solo piano for the first, so don't miss out on that! πŸ‹ *poster design by @chloe.mariii

In the heart of Tāmaki, at @aesiummusichouse We raised more than funds. We raised a little hope. "FREE FREE" "PALESTINE" Shot with the help of @arie.doxc and @perceptual.engineering on a Sony FS7, Canon 6D II + my trusty Canon 7D (old but gold, 12 years plus since getting my first personal camera). #MusicHeals #StandWithPalestine #AesiumHouse”
