Dave Dobbyn does it all. He writes delicate ballads. His guitar riffs can be loud. His lyrics capture the beauty of redemption, raindrops and the road. From 'Be Mine Tonight' to 'Beside You', Dobbyn has created many classic Kiwi songs. In this collection of music videos, one-off specials and interviews, NZ On Screen pays tribute to Sir Dave Dobbyn. In the backgrounders, Gabe McDonnell charts Dobbyn's path from shy rocker to knighthood, while Dobbyn's sometime producer Samuel Scott talks joy, gratitude and a good cup of tea.
