Another recycled article from the old Exposures Online Website archives originally published 16th March 2004 Meat Loaf Auckland 2004 He’s been to Hell and back has Meat Loaf, and some would say, he took a few of us with him. The former 150 kg rocker has trimmed down to a nearly respectable 110 . . . → Read More: Concert Review – Meat Loaf – Western Springs 14/03/2004 
Long ago… when I was a budding photographer I had a go at doing some portraits for some friends. It didn’t work out that well so I concentrated on making exposures, candid portraits of people taken doing their everyday stuff, unaware of the camera, and much more revealing that any posed shot I could conjure up. One of those early projects was when Willie Hona was trying to break out. I knew him through Niki Hona who was the sister of my old mate Robbie Van de Lisdonk. . . . → Read More: Herbs Release Anniversary Film 
A fair few things have happened since my last yearly concert. The circle of performers from Whakatane has grown immensely and The Fuzztards have become a regular gig for me. With the weekly Open Mic nights at The Office Bar and Grill I’ve met many new local musicians. This year I was able to feature a lot more of that local talent at the festival plus I was happy to welcome back some of our regulars as well. . . . → Read More: Annual Concert, 2019 
We first met Moone at a Whakatane Open Mic session one Thursday night. She grabbed the nearest guitar and played 3 songs. That was it for me. I asked her to come and sing at my annual concert in February 2018 and she jumped at the chance. By this time she’d been joined by Tauranga guitar whiz Phil Reha who knew exactly what to play under Moone’s voice. Fast forward to September 2018 and we’ve got a single and video to release at the intimate venue of The Litt Park Theatre in Te Puke. About 200 close supporters, family and friends crammed in to see and hear Moone’s big debut. And she blew us all away. . . . → Read More: Concert Review : Moone, Litt Park Theatre, Te Puke, September 28, 2018

There are a couple of songs that were game changers for me. As a kid I saw The Beatles movie A Hard Day’s Night and the idea of girls chasing me down the street had great appeal and I thought I should be in a band some day. So every time I hear that first chord I am reminded of that moment. . . . → Read More: The Importance Of Being Eno 
These annual parties/concerts have been going on now since my old band mates from the late 70’s Dave Arrowsmith and Warren Cate and I dusted off some of our old punk rock songs, put a small vocal PA on the front deck at Waikaretu and used bedside lamps to light the way so we didn’t fall over each other. Every year they get a little bigger, and a lot better. . . . → Read More: It’s Bigger Than Texas  Comments are closed  Music, The Blog  Concert, fiona cosgrove, live music, music, open mic, waikaretu, whakatane

I knew he was sick, but I started to think he was never going to die. But he died. Age 71. He leaves behind a body of work that is stunning in it’s depth and width. I don’t have a favorite song or album or era. I just have a favorite artist. Still. Vale Lou Reed. . . . → Read More: Vale Lou Reed

Right click the hyperlinks to download any mp3’s you want to keep on your local PC Enjoy! Gone Too Long . . . → Read More: Featherston Street Demos I said I would probably go home and write another song for my next album (tentatively titled Featherston Street). John looked at me in that heavy metal look and said ‘not another a love song?’ I said it might be. “The last thing this world needs is another fu$#ing love song’ he said. My initial reply was “That’s going to be the title” Here is my full reply… . . . → Read More: “Not Another Love Song” 
I’ve always been involved in music in some way, ever since Robbie taught me to play the drums in the 70’s. Now that I’ve got the time to put into a band it’s purely for fun, but there was a stage there for a while when I thought I could do more with it and i ended up writing a bunch of songs. I never stopped writing songs though, but not in order to seek fame and fortune. It was more to just have a way of expressing things in a way that meant something to me. My blog will be peppered with links to my songs and videos so if you’re not used to that yet, you soon will be. . . . → Read More: Changing Gear 
The GCSB said the law was ambiguous and confusing in relation to what it’s powers were over spying on New Zealanders. Really? 14. Interceptions not to target domestic communications Neither the Director, nor an employee of the Bureau, nor a person acting on behalf of the Bureau may authorise or take any action for the purpose of intercepting the communications of a person (not being a foreign organisation or a foreign person) who is a New Zealand citizen or a permanent resident. That looks as clear as dog’s balls to me, but I’m not an intelligence person. . . . → Read More: What Would You Say? |
