Hello my friends. Here is an invite to anyone in striking distance of Aucks.
Long time since I did a gig here!

In these unnerving times it’s good to go where invited coz ya never know how long it’s gonna be before the next sloth at home event comes around and we are told to stay home by the phone.

Forget your troubles and listen to mine! come to my show if ya can and we can swap stories. Its so rare to be able to meet you in person as apposed to virtual like this.

I get back from down south and by some Miracle I get invited to play 🙂 At Sozo Coffee House – tickets $15. 1 Shetland St, Glen Eden, Auckland Saturday 17th April 4pm – 6pm. 

They are using an image of a fresher faced Hurley…but that’s OK…I actually was younger once but I prefer now

Call me if ya wanna catch up or if you have any questions 021 0259 2919

Best
Luke

Hi friends played Lyttleton yesterday … Slim pickings but big fun

This one is quite vital and imminent so please share with friends down Otago way

BLUESKIN GALLERY WAITATI 20th

Share the link on facebook if you have friends near there.

And coming up on Wednesday Tuatara Invercargill. The Tuatara gig is free but the hat is out to cover exp

Exp on the road are ridiculous as it happens so you know what to go…head to Bandcamp and buy my sounds

THE BIG INSIGHT AT THE MOMENT IS THIS OLD CHESTNUT

THERE IS ONLY A SMALL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LITTLE MONEY AND A LOT OF MONEY
BUT
THERE IS A HUUUUUUUUUUGE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NO MONEY AMD A LITTLE MONEY

Currently in a Westfield mall waiting for my bro. This place looks exactly like every other Westfield anywhere in Oz-troll-asia. It really challenges the emoticons.
YOU GOTTA BE ABLE TO SWITCH OFF YOUR SOUL.

Here are a couple of churches spotted on the drive. The first one is near Timaru.

Sometimes a church gets sold and the new owners wonder what to do with it. Well. How about making it a church except this time don’t lock it up for 6 days of the week . This particular one is stunning. I wonder if it’s ever open.

Do you know anything about either of these?

Looking back on the last trip is sobering. Decided this time to proceed with great caution and not lose anything.Still no news of the 1984 strat plus fender that went missing 160ks out of Christchurch out Arthur’s pass way.

We will get it back in due course…of course…its God’s Guitar after all. It’s been stolen twice and recovered in mysterious ways . It’s never been lost on an open highway before though. Just awaiting some info on its serial number and stuff….thats gonna be handy. Stevie star has that info as he once studied GG and is in the process of sourcing a 1984 model just like it.

The reason I lost it – apart from my own carelessness … is due to me not obeying the little voice in my head when there clearly was someone I was meant to lend it to and I didn’t.. shame on me
When I lose some item that’s very important to me I try at once to replace it with something as or almost as good. In this case it’s a Godin 12 string electric acoustic matched with a Mesa boogie amp. It won’t be the same as GG but it is an amazing combination. What’s really great is its bias toward electric with a beautiful tinge of acoustic.. and the amp is perfection. I am paying it off bit by bit. Chriso laid down a hefty deposit and it’s up to me to find the rest.

By the way if the last sentence seems like a hint then I have to admit it is. It would be great to get some gigs to pay it off…. so hire me now just call 021 0259 2919 or head to bandcamp.com where you can find a lot of my sounds. The Jungle EP and the Happy Isles and more.

If you want to get all the music Bandcamp have a discount of 25% for the full bundle

It’s amazing how many times people tell me they like my sounds and I should be better known and they wish they could help.they can. Give us a gig! now!

It’s a political world is it not? Every time I feel like saying something about the little boogie bugster that’s bleeding the life out of our social world and which divides friends and families everywhere …I try to bite my tongue coz I know for sure it’s gonna go down like a turd in a punch bowl. You can’t say a thing without inviting a long discussion or have abuse hurled at you.
Happened to me last week. I raised my concerns and they were identified as conspiracies and I was sworn at and exiled from friends of 25 years standing.

Yes folks. If it’s not the politically obsessed narrative you need courage to voice it. Trouble is we are being asked to trust politicians. It’s a tough balancing act. Must be time to write the lockdown blues?

Feels like it’s near the close of closing time for the old world. What emerges is something vibrant to replace it. Welcome to the new mental.

Invite me to the hood brothers and sisters. Let’s catch up while we are still relatively free to do so. Some gigs
