Today country / folk guitarist, singer and songwriter Guy Wishart released his first solo album in 17 years.
He's a former silver scroll winner and was also awarded the Most Promising Male Vocalist prize at the New Zealand music awards, but that was some time ago.
He was a member and principle songwriter with Auckland based electronica band Selon Recliner, but he and his wife both left New Zealand to teach in Bangalore, India.
He's back home now, a resident of the small community of Kumeu near the upper reaches of the Waitamata Harbour and he's here to play us some songs from his new album "West by North".
