Deva Mahal – the real deal

Deva Mahal 2

For many years I have been wanting to ask  about her journey in music, how she came to live in Welly and what it is like having  as your Dad. So on her recent trip back from New York she came in to have a chat about these things. She also uncovered some interesting points about the differences between performing in Wellington and New York and what made Wellington’s musical heyday. Her new band  also goes off the richter scale in reviews every time they play live.

Sheyne Tuffery – Wellington artist goes big

Sheyne Tuffery has a vision that Welly could be as muraled up as Mexico City and San Francisco, so he has just created a massive new mural in Mt.Cook.

He talks about the effect painting this mural has had on the local community, where his crazy architecture inspiration comes from and how two art teachers at Newlands college are so influential to him and his brother becoming artists.
