Greg Malcolm Record Release Performance

Ilam Press Records (UC School of Fine Arts) in partnership with Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū present a live solo performance by Greg Malcolm to celebrate the launch of his new album ‘JUST LIKE JIM’.

One of Aoteroa’s most articulate guitarists, this new album sees Greg committing himself to a 1950s Hofner archtop guitar he inherited from his late grandfather, Jim Spence. In a stripped-back sonic setting Greg fuses his long-running interests in traditional rembetika and klezmer music with memories of his grandfather’s interests in ‘ham’ radio while taking the restored guitar to its outer limits.

Produced by Luke Wood, Senior Lecturer in Design at the School fo Fine Arts, this limited edition 12-inch vinyl release is packaged in a bespoke screen-printed cover with large format 8-page booklet containing extensive liner-notes by Greg Malcolm and Bruce Russell. Produced as a limited edition of 150 numbered copies, this is the second record to emerge from a partnership between Ilam Press Records and Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū.

Records will be available for purchase before and after the performance.
