When Jay Clarkson opened for the Clean in Christchurch, in February this year, she and her two musical accomplices proved to be a winning combo. Jay’s new trio are touring this month. After performing solo for several years, Jay is

now assisted by Michael Kime on double bass and Greg Malcolm on guitar and “sounds". Malcolm has previously worked with Jay in Breathing Cage, and Kime is in popular Christchurch group the Blue Swing. “At very short notice, we had about half an hour’s practise, but the audience response was warm," says Jay. The tour set list will be half old and half new. Her Flying Nun compilation, Packet, will be reissued on mid-price to coincide with the tour. A self-confessed wanderer, Jay has moved six times in the last 18 months, from one Dunedin suburb to another. Jay describes her transient behaviour as “a habit from childhood". In that time, Jay has recorded tracks for two Dunedin compilations. Last year it was ‘Fool’, for Does It Float?, and she recently recorded for an IMD compilation, as have David Kilgour, Graeme Downes and members of the 3Ds. Jay plans to record again in the New Year. Despite the snow, she speaks warmly of her current home town, Dunedin, with its green belt, bellbirds and “a gorgeous walk two minutes away” from her home. “I think it is a creative environment. There’s a flexibility down here. Some people see it as a real scene. It’s not precious. There’s a kinda give it a go attitude.” But Jay’s loathe to describe herself as “settled”. “I have daydreams of living in the Canterbury Plains, with sweeping views."
