Hey everyone,

Getting sorted out after the move took longer than I had expected. But there will be a show this weekend Sunday the 27th of August, so tune in for your Kiwi Music Fix!

Sorry about the lack of shows the last couple of weeks.  I am in the process of moving and my new house has yet to be connected to the internet. Hopefully everything will be back to normal next week. Until then why not download some older shows you might not have heard yet!

Sorry, www.nzbeats.com

A week in hospital has given me a great opportunity to reflect on the past 30 years of New Zealand Music. I have put together a great 30 minutes of music that has influenced New Zealand and the surrounding world. Hope you all enjoy:
