In this week’s music spot Ian Chapman offers a respite from the unsettling nature of the myriad of current, weighty, national and global events by shining an overdue lens upon that most unlikely of musical instruments; the spoons.

Ian Chapman is honorary Senior Research Fellow in Music at the University of Otago.
