He was also a member of roots rock outfit Surge, whose album Then Again received critical acclaim, and has featured as a side man for New Zealand blues legends Darren Watson, Dave Murphy and Marg Layton.
Hay began performing as a solo artist in 2006 and has three releases to his name - Inside Stories released in 2007, Where Do We Go From Here? released in 2012 and now his brand new album Something Blue released Oct 2017
