ABOUT 

Hi, I’m Nick Bollinger, a New Zealand-based writer, broadcaster, musician and producer. I have been writing about music for the past thirty-odd years (longer if you go back to the newspaper I published in primary school.) Welcome to this site, from which you can access a lot of this material, as well as newer pieces, which I will be adding regularly. Check my monthly Top Ten to see what I've been listening to, reading and thinking about, and feel free to browse, ask questions or add comments.
