When the Paul Henry Unlocked Tour made it’s way to Dunedin, we were there.
When Mike Bennett, or “Chewie,” from the Big Hairy News was carried away by police after probably heckling, we were there. And so was he again after around 20 minutes.
Although we were locked out (lol) maybe because we were slightly (half an hour) late, we got a good idea of the vibes from outside the doors. And a glimpse of the man himself among the many, many dark MAGA hats.
The vibes, said Chewie, were “bad.” Our inside sources confirmed this sentiment that it was a bit weird, and a bit of a “cirle jerk.”
While we can’t confirm or deny that this is true, the message to Paul Henry is don’t lock us out next time and we might report fairly. Cheers.
