Ben Woods Performs 'Hovering At Home' - UTR Trash Recital Episode 10

We're stoked to share the tenth episode of our new web series, created in collaboration with the talented gang at Sports Team: UTR Trash Recital!

For each episode of Trash Recital we've invited some of our favourite Aotearoa artists into the UTR studios to perform one of their signature songs, re-created using everyday items selected from a treasure trove of literal trash, collected by Sports Team from Tāmaki Makaurau's finest op shops / second hand stores. Trash Recital not only provides a launchpad for stunning reimaginings of recent classic tunes, but also the perfect opportunity for a chinwag with our local musical heroes.

The star of our penultimate Trash Recital episode is Ōtautahi songwriter and recording sensation Ben Woods. Creator of 2019 UTR office fave Put (listen below), played a sterling live version of his unreleased song 'Hovering At Home' using items from our famous UTR rubbish pile. Set to appear at Nelson Arts Festival on 27th October (crossed fingers gigs will be back by then), witness Woods performing 'Hovering At Home' using wine glasses, a plastic tube and a surprise special guest right here, and keep it locked for the very last episode of 2021's Trash Recital series. Have we saved the best for last? Find out within a fortnight's time...
