Plain Text. One of the best things about playing live shows again is the people I meet and the beautiful places I see. The Taranaki New Plymouth Winter Fest 2026 was such a delight. The 4th Wall Theatre was a wonderful venue, and I had the privilege of meeting so many incredible people. I also wandered the CBD, chatting with as many people as I could along the way… NZ never fails to remind me how great people are. Everyone here is so welcoming, generous, and genuinely hospitable. My job is to give something back through music and entertainment, and I always do my best. If people leave with a smile, a laugh, or a song stuck in their head, then I’ve done what I came to do. Thank you, Taranaki. Until next time.
