Don is back with the new album ‘Marvellous Year’ and this time he’s got a band called ‘The Seven Sisters’.

The new songs have a real energy, atmosphere and depth and Don’s songwriting and abilities is now stronger than ever. The last year has been keeping him very busy. He has composed, supervised and recorded two soundtrack albums; the Toa Fraser directed Dean Spanley (Recorded by New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and featuring Peter O’Toole, Sam Neill and others) and the Anthony McCarten directed Show of Hands.

Don McGlashan explains how these projects came together and performs live in the Kiwi FM studio.
