Charles Clatworthy is a busy person. We caught up with the young man himself minutes before the gig started, with streams of amped Wellingtoians walking up from town, up Cuba and Taranaki St, In from the surrounding streets to this grand venue. We spoke with him as he was packing into the Great Hall at Massey University. Busy, forthright, cool and full of crispness, we are talking about a young man with a big future, a big network and some extremely good business values. At one point our content creators crossed a line, god swiped, straightened out, and we are all the better for it. Forgiving, clear and appreciated.
That’s how we roll in Wellywood.
