May I introduce to you my friend Scott Mannion?
Singer-songwriter Scott Mannion from New Zealand, settled down years ago in Chelva. Last Friday he unveiled his latest clip for “Your Kinda Love”. A memorable event. In the past Scott has been sitting for us twice on our Tuesday night live portrait sessions.
Listen to his beautiful music and read the very interesting interview with him!

The first piece of music which really affected you was . . .
An earliest songs that I still have a sense of really sticking with me are The Tide is High and The Lion Sleeps Tonight, which are probably also my earliest memories. First song that I remember hitting me on a deeper level though, and sending me on a path away from grunge, is God Only Knows. It was summer, I was hanging out with some friends and there was music playing from a car stereo when it came on. Completely transfixed and so moved by it. I had grown up hearing all of the Beach Boys earlier surfing songs etc but somehow had never heard this song. I thought it was the most perfect song I had ever heard.
