April 2010 - My friend, the talented artist Noah Landau, is holding an online exhibition of all the remaining works in his private collection including the above fantastic work Taniwha Guarding the Mountain. It's great to see such an original view of Mount Taranaki. So much is captured in the painting. You can view more of Noah's works by clicking the above image or going to www.mazzolajewellery.co.nz/noah landau.htm

Lyttelton alt country band The Eastern performed at ANZAC Hall in March in an impromptu concert, along with Wales's Jaime Regan and local group The Good Grass Gospel Band. It was a great night for the audience of 40 or so. You can catch one of The Eastern's songs here and Jaime Regan's here.

Catch The Handsome Family here. The alt country duo played Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History Masterton New Zealand in February 2010.
