Open Mic spoken word with sensationally good musician guests each time. This month our guest is a musician who dominated the music scene in the mid 70's, collecting ALBUM OF THE YEAR and SONGWRITER OF THE YEAR awards three years in succession, a feat never achieved by any other artist before or since. He won the APRA SILVER SCROLL two years in a row. His records sold in numbers that seem unimaginable today, often remaining in the charts for months on end. He is arguably the first major singer-songwriter in NZ's history. His name is JOHN HANLON.
John's back living in NZ. And he's still writing masterfully: crafting songs, publishing books and more. Come hear John's songs, and say hi. We'll have his CDs and short stories for sale.
