Former dairy farmer Merv Pinny is finding favour with new audiences around the world – especially in Brazil. The Northland-based singer-songwriter runs a recording studio in Kerikeri, where he recorded his new album Hard Road, which was released earlier this week.
Merv joins Jim to discuss one of his songs 'Hold me, Love me, Tell me', and talk about the Local Launchpad initiative he established to help emerging artists in the Far North.
