Just one Christmas song, James Brown "Santa Claus Go Straight To the Ghetto", from a Christmas album he did in 1968 called "A Soulful Christmas". That's my offering for the silly season, otherwise it's always the season for great roots music. A bit of a technical blue to start with - heck what's new? But after that it was plain sailing.

For Stage Direction this week, Alice Canton joined us in the studio to speak with some of the organisers of the Festival of Sumud at the Button Factory - brought to you by the organisers of the Gaza Dialogues and Make art not War.
To celebrate the second year of Various Artists, and the first helmed by us, this week we looked back at some highlights of our year.
We listened back to:
Sofia's kōrero with gallerist and curator Melanie Roger about a group exhibition at Melanie Roger Gallery, the Secret Life of Plants, from October.
Beth's kōrero with Ross Deans, Jodie Yawa McMillan and Madi Macdonald about Through the Lens: Gendered Reflections, an exhibition of photography by women artists, spanning a period of over 40 years from September.
Sofia's interview package for the 2024 Elam Graduate Show - speaking to recent Capstone graduates Rainer Majsa, Maya Reed, and Talei Elvy, as well as Masters graduates Emily Brown and Aidan McNeillage - from November.
And Beth's kōrero with British author Amy Twigg about her debut novel Spoilt Creatures, ‘a simmering debut, heady with the possibilities of language and the righteousness of female rage’ from back in July.
