John Campbell is a 51 year old newsreader in New Zealand. He was unable to attend a Sharon van Etten gig in Aukland as he had a prior speaking engagement.
His colleagues at the news station therefore surprise him with a live link to Sharon Van Etten performing Tarifa just for him. What’s particularly touching is how he can’t shut up about his nervous excitement, can’t hide his evident love of her music and yet is conscious he must still carry on as a pro and anchor the show.

Try listening to I Know on her most recent album & not cry…
Marvelous! He was clearly chuffed to bits.
A very AW sort of moment somehow.
That’s lovely!
John Campbell does wear his heart on his sleeve at the best of times, but he is a tremendous broadcaster. Can be very savage with politicians when he smells BS.
