I'll be the first to admit that most jazz just goes right over my head. That may be because I tend to duck well out of its way when I see it coming but this not so here. Spri are a jazz trio from Montpellier with a beautifully warm, vintage sound built around electric guitar and Hammond organ in the vein of '60s Herbie Hancock or Traffic. Classic is the word. They also happen to be a lovely bunch of lads. This is a video I made for their live session of 'Long Time No Sea', a track from their upcoming E.P 'My House'.

A New Zealand Gothic mystery.




Bush Sick Land is set in a small Waikato town at the end of the 1960s. It's a mystrery, a black comedy and a portrait of a weird, blokish world by way of Hieronymous Bosch. Bush Sick Land is my first novel.




Bush Sick Land will be available as an Amazon paperback and ebook from 30/05/20
