A wonderful Māori woman performed ‘rongoā’ on me — a sacred healing practice.“It was a transformative experience, and I’m still not quite sure why.
There was a moment when this wonderful woman looked at me and said ‘you’re a wairua boy’ — wairua in Te Reo means something like ‘spirit’.”Listen to the new single below.Following the album’s release, the band will head out on a UK headline tour.
