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.

Up next is Neo-Soul singer Yayné.

“One of my favourite memories would be playing at The Performance Arcade with my keys player Leo Coghini, right along the waterfront on a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon. The vibe was just right and everyone there was really tuned in, there was a really cool energy exchange between me and the audience.”
