His plucky stars
David Long is looking forward to going back to his old job, playing guitar with the Mutton Birds on a summer reunion tour of beer festivals, pub gigs and a support slot with Jimmy Barnes’ Cold Chisel.
It’s not just the chance to rip out the solo in , or bring his eerie sonic touch to the likes of Don McGlashan’s . It will be a working holiday from his indoors musical life of recent years writing for screen, dance and contemporary classical performance, his art-music credentials having been recognised when he was named the 2014-15 Composer-in-Residence at the New Zealand School
