We asked Ladi6, who is one of the many local music stars hitting the beach pub circuit in the coming weeks, to discuss the joys of touring and what it's like to have a job keeping the holidaying hordes entertained.
Your preferred transport for summer touring?
By van with regular swim stops please!
Who does the driving and who's not allowed to drive?
The tour manager does the driving usually, because usually that's part in parcel of the job description, otherwise whoever feels up to it. No licence, no driving. That's a rule.
What's on the car stereo?
Beats all day.
If you had a talking GPS in the vehicle what famous voice would you want?
Oohhh ... maybe Liam Neeson?
Your favourite summer venue?
Opononi Hotel, because the water is right across the road. And of course Christchurch, because that's home.
Favourite spot on tour itinerary which isn't a venue?
Pelorus River - weehee!
