Honouring Excellence

13 March 2005
Two Paddocks

Around this time of the year the proprietor's largesse gets the better of him and he fires off a few cases of wine to New Zealand artists, sportspersons etc. that have given him pleasure in the last year or so. Past recipients include Che Fu (hip hop). Tim Finn (musician) Fur Patrol (rock), Ralph Hotere (painter), Garrick Tremain (cartoonist), Graham Sydney (painter), Hone Tuwhare (poet), etc.

This year T.P. honourees so far are as follows:

  • Douglas Wright (choreographer, dancer, and autobiographer)
  • S.J.D. (musician)
  • Anton Oliver (rugby player and Highlander's captain)
  • Brad McGann (film director of In My Fathers Den)
