Simply Red Concert, Auckland, New Zealand - October 2010

Off after work on Friday to see Simply Red. First up however was Opshop, a Kiwi band that it seems we knew several of their songs but had never heard of them (Maybe, One Day, Madness & Other Allergies). We have now caught up with iTunes and can add them to my Kiwi music collection.

Mick Hucknall is still of the big red planet head variety ... go Mick. He was excellent on stage. Loads of songs you did not know you actually liked. 25 years of them. Bugger me.




Riversdale, New Zealand - October 2010

Off for our first weekend of the spring. Weather has improved dramatically since we went over to the UK and the skies were clear and bright. Riversdale is just a short drive north east of Wellington and is a really lovely place. We are sure to return for a weekend later in the year.
