The Gravy - Series Three, Episode One (Little Bushmen vs Auckland Philharmonia)

Television (Full Length Episode) – 2008

Cinematic orchestra meets Jim Hendrix and Led Zep, [then] get together and jam: that’s us!
– Maxwell on the cross-genre collaboration
I guess the thing I fear the most is that they might sense I didn’t really get what the songs were doing, what they’re about, what they’re trying to say.
– Psathas on his anxiety presenting his arrangements to the Bushmen
Marriage, the birth of the two kids, the Olympics and the Bushman gig ... I’ve got a handful of things now that are really amazing, that I’ll always remember that are the milestones of my life.
– Psathas rates the success of the gig
John’s just given us a Graham Henry talk: ‘boys remember your set-play’.
– Maxwell on Psathas pre-rehearsal pep talk from Psathas
