hello friends!
i write you, all snug, from the living room...back "home" in Melbourne....
the nz tour is all wrapped up tight -- the sweetest gift i could've asked for. what a country. the month away was one filled with, most literally, the friendliest, most hospitable, kindest people i've ever met (in such potency in place). all this loveliness let the greatest of memories trickle their way into the tour, one city (well, town), at a time.
the north island was a non-stop giggle-fest from auckland to wellington, stopping to play along the way in napier and carterton. all six shows were shared with fabulous melbourne duo, april maze (www.aprilmaze.com), and put together by miss lisa, who managed a tour of super-arty venues, all cozy with listeners. every show was an experience in itself, a great one :)
the south island was absolutely stunning. i drove my way south, stopping to gig incredible venues including the interislander ferry, le cafe picton, lochmara lodge, the moutere inn, the mussel inn, and ending in lovely lyttelton to play the wunderbar, the loons and volcano radio. ahhhh, new zealand. so good. the mountains just kept growing, as did my chillier smile (a very warm smile, but cold on the outside!)....and my longing to stay...
so, a big fat thank you (!) goes out to all of the venue owners, hosts, listeners and friends, who made the new zealand tour an incredible success and an amazing life experience. i look forward to seeing you all again soon...in new zealand and awaaaaaay!
warm fuzzy hugs to ya,
f:)
