About "BEEHIVE - The Full album - Recorded live inside the Beehive"
Recorded and filmed entirely live in a Beehive.

"At times they also make you think of some Africa lost in a dream and push you as if in a trance to stand up, turn to the speakers, hug them and say 'I love you'. It's really difficult to convey how heart- breaking it is to listen to this beautiful record that you suddenly become fond of as if it were a matter of the heart or of a rediscovered friendship: A real surprise that I struggle to communicate out of modesty, such is the sweetness. and the originality that exudes from every single note and word.." - Stefano I. Bianchi - Editor at Blowup Magazine Italy

“Comes together in a brilliance that you don’t find very often”
Sarah Ward, Jazz FM

"Beehive" is another cosmic vision; the new album by Jono Heyes, a humanitarian New Zealand multi-instrumentalist, projects the image of a hive of acoustic bees that pollinate the environment in all its extent and intensity - Kiko Helguera, Radio Spain
