Sandy, Nigel and Michael have a lot of fun playing music aligned to the then of "What would your closest friend do?".  Nigel looks at this theme with a proximity focus, Sandy's take is related to key characteristics of a close friend, and Michael's song are mainly about friendship.  

A way too quick tribute to Sam Neill, Old Stone Hall gigs, a recent local release, World Cup, 40 year anniversaries and a feature of some of 2026's best tunes thus far.
