The Gravy - Series Three, Episode One (Little Bushmen vs Auckland Philharmonia)

Television (Full Length Episode) – 2008

This episode of the Sticky Pictures’ arts show covers a 13 July 2008 concert that combined the musical talents of the Little Bushman with composer John Psathas and the Auckland Philharmonia. Trinity Roots alumnus Warren Maxwell is the frontman for Little Bushman and is a behind-the-scenes guide as they prepare their trademark psychedelic blues for Psathas (Olympics 2004 opening ceremony score composer) to wrangle for orchestral collaboration. Philharmonia met harmonica in one-off gig at Auckland Town Hall. The doco was directed by Mark Albiston.

Cinematic orchestra meets Jim Hendrix and Led Zep, [then] get together and jam: that’s us!
– Maxwell on the cross-genre collaboration
