Mr Watson



If you don't already know of Darren Watson, tunnel over here and check out his Facebook page.  I've been a fan of Darren's ever since his days in Chicago Smokeshop, about the time I was starting out playing with the Mudflat Houserockers in Dunedin.  He's an extraordinarily versatile and able guitarist and a wonderfully gifted singer and songwriter.  You can hear his new album "St Hilda's Faithless Boy" on his page.

Do youself a favour, check out the album, buy it.  And if you're ever in Wellington, go see the man.  You'll thank me.

New Class

Welcome to my 10 new harmonica students at Otago University's Recreation Services!  It's going to be a fun four weeks.  Just remember to practice!


In other news, in the wake of our gig in the Botanic Gardens, it looks like BlueStone might be playing the Octagon New Years party.  The lads are rather excited at the prospect.
