 | Literary Weekend - Homegrown – Documenting our Popular Music | | | Event Type: Theatre, Festivals/Parades | | | |
 | 20 Sep 2008 | | | 5:00 p.m. | | | | | John Dix's pioneering work Stranded in Paradise paved the way for books on the wider popular culture of rock music in Aotearoa.
More recently Nick Bollinger taught us How to Listen to Pop Music and this year Gareth Shute's NZ Rock 1987-2007 hit the shelves. John, Nick and Gareth get together with professional musos Kim Willoughby (When the Cat's Away) and Ian Morris (Th' Dudes, DD Smash and Tex Pistol), to compare notes on our music scene.
Stay with us for live music from Stingray, a West Coast styled blues band featuring outstanding harmonica player Brian Glamuzina and bassist John Thompson, originally with the renowned Willie Dayson Blues Band. They play with legendary American lap steel guitarist Glenn Ross Campbell and Brett Neilsen on drums.
