Palaver featuring Ben Woods

Palaver with Ben Woods

Verb. To talk unproductively and at length.

Noun. The Palaver Grand where Shay Horay has the pleasure of interviewing world class entertainment legends. 

Palaver is Christchurch’s version of Graham Norton where entertainment stalwart Shay Horay nestles into the couch with a new special guest each time. It’s an intimate and off the wall evening of Palaver. We are joined this time round by Ben Woods musician and festival organiser.  Hailing from Lyttelton, Ben first gained recognition after making his solo debut with PUT in 2019 and since then has gone on to release DISPELLER and another album on the way that will be released later this year. He has collaborated with most of the best in the business and is a constant creative and innovative force in the Aotearoa music scene. It’s going to be an absolute pleasure to have Ben on the Palaver couch for an extended chat about his craft, processes and musical inspirations.  

So far in the Palaver history books we have heard first-hand about Deacon's (What We Do in The Shadows) struggle with goat stealing, Marlon Williams told us all about his first meeting with Lady Gaga and Wilson Dixon shared the realities of having a jealous horse. Get your tickets now!
