Having got myself some wheels and successfully done a beg steal and borrow for bits I needed it was off to my first (on the road) destination. The Prana festival in the Coromandel.

I drove there by night and loved the clear moonlight route listening to `Sea Change` by Beck and `Man with a Movie Camera` by the Cinematic Orchestra.

The festival location was beautiful with a private beach and a vibrant friendly atmosphere.

Opoutere Beach

I played 3 times over the festie including a big ol Jam session on the final night. I got to connect with some wonderful Kiwi musicians like Karen Hunter, Matiu Te Huki & Sunny Ray (All of whom would be touring and playing in Europe in 2013)

I left the festie the next day heading an hour south to play Waihi Beach. I had a hitchhiker with me. A young Scottish lad called Joe. A real friendly guy and good companionship. When I arrived at the venue I set up as normal. Only to discover I had left something behind. MY LOOPSTATION!!!!!! The panic hit my and cold sweat set in. Where was it. SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!!! It`s in a field somewhere in the Coromandel.

Not even having enough time to think about how much of a total twat I had been I began frantically texting people. In the mean time I played my show loopless and awaited with anticipation. Eventually word cam back that it was still on the festie site.

Thank Fuck!!!!!

Anyway being without the Loops was weirdly refreshing once I came to terms with it. Obscure tunes and even a couple of cover versions seeped into the setlist.

Setlist from Waihi Beach Cafe.
Setlist from Waihi Beach Cafe. ‘We’re On Fire’ is a cover of the band ‘Crashland’ and ‘Been Smoking Too Long’ was originally written by ‘Robin Frederick’. Both songs had not been performed for years.

There was also a table of old men who hated me at first but loved me by the end. Always nice to create a turnaround 🙂

From here I will head further south eventually crossing to the South Island.
