Bic Runga - Beautiful Collision Tour
Deidre Mussen

SOMETHING good is definitely coming your way. It's been more than four years since tiny pop folkster Bic Runga toured New Zealand solo but patient fans are being well rewarded with her worldwide Beautiful Collision tour.

And what better place to see the 26 year old singer-songwriter than in front of an adoring hometown crowd in Christchurch Town Hall on Thursday.

On tour with Bic Runga
Eleanor Black

Bic Runga is dancing a little jig to the side of the stage, elbows at right angles to her body, knees pumping in time to the applause. First-night nerves before the launch of her first solo New Zealand tour in four years? No, excitement, she says with a grin. Plus, she likes Invercargill. "There's a really good second-hand clothes shop."

Runga gets her cue, walks into the lights and as soon as the crowd's roar hits, pulls her shoulders up to her ears as if to protect them, before settling behind the shelter of a keyboard. Maybe just a few jitters, then.

Changing places for tour suits Kelly fine
Nelson Mail

Bic Runga may be the headline act, but tonight Nelson will be treated to its first visit from renowned Australian singer-songwriter Paul Kelly, whom Runga once supported on tour.Many people over 30 years old would argue that perhaps Runga should still be supporting Kelly, 47, when they play at the Nelson School of Music, but he disagrees.

Bic's On Tour
Michael Fallow

"When you write a song in your bedroom, it has its own life. You think it might be good. But it's hard to tell until you get it out of your house and introduce it to your audience ... just to ensure that it is as good as you think it is. Because sometimes you're wrong."

Truth to tell, the test is more than whether other people like it.
