| Introducing
|
Originally
from Nelson but I have been living on the Coast for 22 years. I am a singer
songwriter. I have had a band - Craig Talbot and The Last of the Big Spenders.
I have performed at a few cafes and acoustic music centers around Wellington
and on the Coast. |
| Description
of music |
I do a mix of solo and band performance in an accoustic rock based style.
I write songs about everyday life - you know, being in love and out of
love. The song is the most important thing - feeling the tension and anguish
...telling the story. Capturing the moment with each word and phrase. |
| Who/What
have been your main musical influences ? |
Bob Dylan - John Hiatt - Keith Richards - Sam Hunt. |
| Your
greatest musical moment? |
Thats
a hard one cause I enjoy most of them. Did a few good support gigs for
the Warratahs and that was good. Also, whenever my brother is playing
the drums with me - thats great. He's in Melbourne now. |
| Your
musical dream? |
To
keep expressing myself through my music and to have another all originals
band. I dream of that. |
| Your
best recent listen? |
Josh Rouse "Under Cold Blue Stars" - great singer songwriter
- songs from the heart...good accoustic based rock. Also "Long Shadows"
by Joe Strumer from The Clash - he wrote it for Johnny Cash and it tells
about what Cash has done for music and the Long Shadow he cast with his
death.

| Your
thoughts about the Kapiti Live Music Club? |
I have been involved in the club since 1989 when it first started at the
boating club. Its doing good. I started performing there with my early
originals and still doing it. It's a place where people will always listen
to you and a good place to meet other songwriters. |
