Perched on Mount Street with sweeping views over the Maitai Valley, Candy Clarke and her husband Ben Wouts’ character-filled villa is a celebration of history, creativity and lived-in charm. Ten years on, the “accountant and the artist” have layered their home with treasured pieces, global finds and Candy’s own artwork, creating a space that feels both eclectic and deeply personal – where Victorian themes meet a life well-travelled, and every corner tells a story.

With The Dorado Experiment’s debut album Becoming A Man out in the world, Blue is riding the high of a milestone moment – one built on instinct, improvisation and heart. Equal parts grounded family man and electrifying frontman, he brings a sense of wonder to everything he does, all filtered through his trademark rose-tinted glasses and a deep belief in the power of feeling alive – on record and on stage.

Get to know Blue in our May edition.
