Greg Johnson picks up the phone in his Santa Monica apartment and says, amazingly, “Gidday!” Twenty-odd years living in California, and he still sounds like an Auckland boy. I picture boulevards flanked with Washingtonia palms outside his window, sparkling sea, and Johnson himself mooching about in the perennial sun, quite possibly wearing a fedora and sporting an unreasonable tan. “It’s true that I do not like the cold,” he admits. “Sunlight makes me happy, so I m a big fan of California. Where I’m living now, I can just stroll over to the beach, and the weather is perfect for me.”

Amiria Grenell (The Swan Sisters, Fly My Pretties, Coyote) have rustled up a midwinter tour to warm your cockles. Beginning mid June and running into July, Grenell and Ross are taking their folk charm to all the cosiest South Island spots, from tiny Bank Peninsula bays to the famed Oamaru Grainstore Gallery. Ross last released an album in 2018 and Grenell a solo album in 2015, so they ve a decade of musings to share between them in a handful of intimate venues. Tickets for selected shows are available from us, and it s to be noted that meals can be ordered at the Nelson Boathouse between 5pm and 8pm.
It has been 15 years since Watts Davies last exhibited his work in a solo show.
Because, the Oamaru artist says, no galleries had asked him to.
The Tower of Babel and other works opened at Art on Tyne last week and brings together art Davies has created over the past 20 years – from his latest work in The Tower of Babel series, to pieces brought out from the archives.
“It’s the first time a gallery has asked me to exhibit since the last one,” he said.
“At my age, time tends to kind of telescope a bit, depending on which end you’re looking through.”
