Harry Sinclair is synonymous with the creative partnership "The Front Lawn", he formed with Don McGlashan in the 1980s.
Together the pair released two albums and a series of short films which included a number of songs that have become embedded in the fabric of the New Zealand music psyche.
Since then they've both forged separate careers; McGlashan as a musician and composer and Sinclair as an actor, writer and director both in Aotearoa and the United States. The pair have reunited in recent times to collaborate on the local stop motion children's show Kiri and Lou which, on the back of international success, has just started its third season on TVNZ.
Sinclair joins Charlotte to talk the highs and lows of life and share some of the songs that have accompanied him along the way.
