• • Fraser Ross and the Felt Tips

    • 14 Feb 2012
    • Newtown Festival
    • Playing solo or with friends (the Felt Tips), Fraser Ross is a gypsy-folk man. He is a keen lyrics man, and a inter-song banterer. Sometimes he dabbles in ballads, sometimes a quicker rinka-chink. His live shows are rare and exciting, his album (And Birds Do Sing) is brilliant but slow-burning.

    • 18 Jul 2024
    • Talk Wellington
    • A small but important ball has started rolling: moves to allow councils to sort out buildings in their centres whose neglect is bringing the vibe down. But instead of plodding along, NZ could jump to some good practice that’s already live… We all know the thing: a main street which should be a bustling, buzzing...
