I'm 65 years old.
Listening to Aldous Harding I wish I were half my age.
This writer/singer/performer hits the spot with me and I wish that she'd been about years before.
Forget your Lordes and other musicians who are dependent on 14 y.o. girls 'likes' this is the real stuff.
Have a listen to this short performance in the Gladden House sessions in 2017:
ALDOUS HARDING
Harding has some classy vids (check out the BLEND video BLEND) and the Jools Holland ones.
Listening to these and watching the performances gives me confidence that New Zealand arts can match it with the rest of the world

ReplyDeleteRobert your grasp of chronology and arithmetic is about as suspect as your views of religion and science and make about as much sense
