The idea to record live concerts for DVD was born in March 2020, the day my wife (Ingrid Prosser) and I were unable to visit a care home (because of the pandemic) where we were scheduled to perform. Thanks to Creative New Zealand for funding, and the wizardry of Wellington’s excellent film-makers we are delighted to have captured three intimate concert performances.
The films were made in Wellington using state-of-the-art techniques regarding lighting and sound. |
