From the depths of the deep south Ian showcases four acts that the rest of New Zealand may not yet have heard but which they surely should: Ivy, Akoba, Mads Harrop (pictured) and The Mentalist Collective. Each of these four acts is very different to the others; testament to the ongoing and expansive creative spirit and adventurousness that Dunedin music is famous for.
Ian Chapman is a Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Music at Otago University.
Songs played: For the Sake of It by Ivy, Weighed Down by Akoba, Harmonise by Mads Harrop, and Red Red Rose by The Mentalist Collective.
