BUSH HALL :: DON MCGLASHAN :: 11/06/11
The amazing Mr McGlashan graces us once more with his stellar solo show. The former frontman of The Mutton Birds, Blam Blam Blam and The Front Lawn has had a tough year, having been hospitalized in April after a car door opened on him while cycling through Auckland.
Now fully recovered, and armed only with his guitar, euphonium and harmonica, his live show rollicks through the back catalogue as well as playing some of his newer (equally good) solo stuff, throwing in jokes and anecdotes along the way.
By the way, if his name doesn’t ring a bell, his songs surely will, with five entries in APRA New Zealand’s Top 100 Songs Of All Time: “Anchor Me”, “Dominion Road”, “Don’t Fight It Marsha, It’s Bigger Than Both Of Us”, “There is no Depression in New Zealand” and “Andy”. Plus you must have heard “Bathe in the River”, which Don wrote for Hollie Smith.
He is supported on this, his only European show this year, by the amazing Mostar Diving Club. Check them out at www.themostardivingclub.com/.
