New Zealand Music Features — Vera Ellen

Three months after the release of Violet Hirst's debut album Donegal, Vera checks in with Violet to discuss post release blues, crawling on stage and sampling neighbourhood wind chimes.

"...It felt so extreme that something one person could perceive as light weekend entertainment, could drag me to such devastation..." Part one of a three-part series in which Vera Ellen talks to local musicians about the difficulties navigating live performance and turbulent emotion.
