For NZ Music Month the last couple of years, we asked bands/artists for a favourite memory of making music in Wellington.

It could involve a favourite gig, a funny story from the recording studio, a moment that led to the inspiration for a song, the fond recollection of a defunct venue, or the piece of music or lyric that they were most proud of creating.

We really enjoyed the stories people told us, so we are doing it again this year.

Next up is Flo Wilson.

One of my favourite memories of Wellington music was now destroyed Munki Studios; it was a concrete building off Taranaki St run by Mike Gibson that was formerly run by the NZ Secret Service. My favourite part of that space was walking into the drum room which was once the vault! You felt like you were performing in history. Mike was also one of the only male studio engineers I’d come across in my early years as a musician who also pointed out blatant sexism/ gendering of studio equipment. Awesome guy!
