40 years on

I record a Voice of Gallipoli with my old mate. In a miraculous moment, history rhymes and past and present look each other in the eye.

Momentum.

Tūranga, the main branch of Christchurch Library, became the first presenter to officially license a presentation of Voices of Gallipoli. It’s going to be a wonderful event. What a gorgeous space.

I hope it will be the first of several presentations around the world that will be confirmed in the coming weeks. I’m speaking with people in London, New York, Australia, all the main centres in NZ, and a bunch of smaller cities and towns off the beaten track.

One of the readers at Tūranga will be my old mate Michael Keir-Morrissey.
