Welcome to The Friday Vinyl Club Podcast — where every day feels like Friday and every record tells a story.
This week, I connect across the globe with Lachie Holt, an inspirational New Zealand school teacher who turned a classroom project into a real-life vinyl record! Lachie and his Hamilton East students created a stunning tribute to Split Enz’s debut album Mental Notes, pressing it to vinyl and celebrating the music that inspired them.
We dive into the story behind this ambitious project, Lachie’s own musical journey — including the role his Grandad played — and why Mental Notes became the perfect creative inspiration.
We officially submit the original Split Enz classic to the Friday Vinyl Club, and Lachie also shares his current musical favourites, including Fat Freddy’s Drop, Mac DeMarco, and Cowboy Dan.
