In this episode of the All Things Musical podcast we play some live recordings from The Conjurors' performance at Auckland Libraries in May, we talk to Gareth Shute from the band about where he buys his socks, plus we listen to tracks from Scott Mannion, The Cosbys, Lawrence Arabia and the Ruby Suns. As well as being a multi-instrumentalist, Gareth has written five books which you can find in our catalogue.

Anthony Metcalf from the band Glass Owls and formerly of the little known but critically acclaimed Howick podcast Hello and Welcome to the Internet stopped by the Auckland Central Library to talk.

Topics covered include his favourite flavour of ice cream, some anecdotes and thoughts about Waiuku and recording the Glass Owls album Out From the Darkness there, why Ben Affleck isn't going to be a good Batman and how Spoon is a great band with cool drums.

Timothy Blackman, Stelth Ulvang and Shenandoah Davis.

Timothy Blackman is one of my favourite local artists, and he was kind enough to let me interview him in the basement of the Auckland Central Library. In a happy coincidence, we were able to be joined by Stelth Ulvang - a multi-instrumentalist for the Grammy nominated band The Lumineers (who were in town to play the Big Day Out), and Shenandoah Davis - a classically influenced songwriter who was touring with Anthonie Tonnon. Later that night, I recorded some of their live set at an Auckland art space on New North Road.
