I’m really looking forward to tomorrow night. At 6pm this guy (see below) is performing for free at a bar in Wellington called Mighty Mighty, and guess who’s going? That’s right, moi.
I suppose I should tell you who that is: that, my friends, is none other than Kiwi musician Dave Dobbyn, who became very popular in New Zealand in the 80’s, and has written and performed many songs that are now part of NZ’s culture (he’s particularly well-known for having written the soundtrack music for the animated feature film Footrot Flats, a classic Kiwi cartoon), such as ‘Slice of Heaven’, ‘Welcome Home’, ‘Loyal’, ‘You Oughta Be in Love’ and many more. The reason he’s performing for free in Wellington this weekend is to celebrate the start of NZ Music Month (May 2010). Dobbyn has been active in the music industry since his first debut with a rock band called Th’Dudes way back in 1979. This is a guy with musical credentials, so I’m excited about watching him live. After all, he’s a national treasure here in New Zealand.
