The Wiggles; and an introduction

Hello. I’m Alan. You may remem­ber me from such blogs as half-pie.

No? Oh.

James has added me to the roster of con­trib­ut­ors, for which I am very flattered. I’m still fig­ur­ing out what I could pos­sibly relate about this fine city of ours that could be rel­ev­ant and timely. And indeed, I was going to make excuses for my lack of with-it-ness by explain­ing that I’m just a sub­urb­an Dad-of-two, but as I think Mike, Andrew and James also fall into this broad cat­egory that’s not going to work. Those three are all more with-it than I.

And then there’s Joanna and Jessie on board too, hip young things both.

Oh well. Best foot for­ward and all that. Per­haps one of them can review tonight’s Nick Cave gig for an old fogey that only found out about it after it had sold out?

And now, Wel­ling­ton­ist hat on, we’d like to remind all the oth­er Dads and Mums out there that those multi-col­oured Beatles of the pre-school set, The Wiggles, return to Wel­ling­ton for two shows at the Town Hall on June 10. Unlike Mr Cave’s gig, neither show is sold out (yet).

Book at, er, Tick­etek.
