Kia ora! Today we hear from Hugh Allan, guitarist for the Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland three-piece instrumental group Mothra. Hugh tells us about how Mothra formed, his favourite venues from across the motu, new music from the band coming, and the destruction of a Jackson guitar at the mercy of a vehicle backing over it. If you are listening to this before April 5-6th 2024, and are in Te Whanganui a Tara Wellington on the 5th, or Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland on the 6th you can catch Hugh with Mothra opening for Hötchiwitch featuring Peter Mengede (Handsome / Helmet) which has Hugh also playing second guitar for the headliner, pumping out the entire Handsome album and some Helmet tunes as well.

Welcome to the Southern Pacific realm of guitar making where passion, innovation, and craftsmanship converge. In this episode of the Aotearoa Guitar Show, we speak with Glyn Evans, the adept hands behind Mr. Glyn's Pickups, for a captivating journey into the intricate art of guitar pickups, their restoration, and the vibrant guitar scene in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Glyn makes some of the most amazing and innovative guitar pickups in his shop on Te Ika-a-Māui North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand. Enjoy as he takes us on a ride describing how he builds and repairs pickups, tests them with players, and gets a little sad about the guitar that got away.
