Puketapu Sunday Sessions
Fraser Mack
Enjoy a relaxing afternoon — high quality meals in a relaxed charming atmosphere accompanied by Mack and his acoustic guitars. Mack uses his whole guitar, the neck, the body, the strings. The entire instrument is exploited. It is his percussion that creates the melody, and makes the performance. It’s guitar gymnastics.
