SUMMARY:Rennie Pearson. Traditional Celtic Music
DESCRIPTION:Grounded in the Celtic musical traditions\, Rennie Pearson takes the listener on a journey through history\, weaving together tunes and songs and the tales that accompany them to create an intricate and varied show. His engaging stage presence and storytelling opens the door for audiences to connect with the music\, which he plays on the wooden flute\, Irish tin whistles\, guitar\, bodhran and voice. \nRennie grew up in Wellington with Celtic music in his blood. Having heard the traditional music of Ireland and Scotland on his parents CDs as a baby\, he grew up knowing he just had to learn to play like this. He picked up the flute at age 8\, learning by ear in Irish sessions under the guidance of Galway born flute player Pat Higgins. With Irish music as the cornerstone of his knowledge\, he then went on to delve deep into the traditional music of Scotland and maritime Canada\, on the way gaining proficiency in a wide range of different instruments. \nRennie has made a name for himself in the Irish music scene of New Zealand and Australia. He has performed with great traditional musicians such as John Carty\, Catherine MacEvoy\, James Kelly and more. He has taught throughout New Zealand and internationally\, both solo and with a range of other musicians such as Rob Zielinski\, Oscar West and Gillian Boucher. Most recently he taught wooden flute at Ceol Aneas (New Zealand’s Irish Music School)\, accompaniment at ScotStrings Camp (New Zealand Scottish Music School) and traditional music workshops at Auckland and Whare Flat Folk Festivals. In 2021 he toured with Irish dance sensation\, Celitica\, as their flute and bodhran player. He also released an album with fiddler and small-piper\, Oscar West as the kiwi folk duo\, ‘Polytropos’\, in 2020..At the age of 19\, he studied with wooden flute virtuoso Chris Norman on the east coast of Canada\, as a live-in apprentice. He has since taught alongside Chris at many Boxwood Festivals in New Zealand and Australia on guitar\, whistle and flute. \nNumbers are limited essential to book TICKETS \nhttps://www.renniepearsonmusic.com/ \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJiTbENs5vM&t=119s&ab_channel=RenniePearson

SUMMARY:Gilly Darbey and Vikki Clayton - Return of the Divas
DESCRIPTION:Just imagine a musical fusion of Ab Fab\, Miss Piggy and the Topp Twins  and you’ve got a pretty accurate ideas of what these two are all about. Music ranging from folk\,country\, blues and self penned these ladies can deliver. \n“We take our music very seriously but we love to have fun too” \nBoth are famed for their beautiful voices and between them play several instruments. Not to be taken lightly these girls have impeccable pedigrees when it comes to musical careers. Between them and sometimes together they’ve worked with Van Morrison\, Richard Thompson\, John Martyn\, Fairport Convention\, Joan Armatrading\, Ralph Mctell (blah blah –  the list is endless ) and they are too modest (old) to remember them all – Needless to say highly respected by their peers \nThey’ve toured the world\, played major festivals and events (did ya spot Gilly at Live Aid?)  and armed with nothing but their voices\, charm and prosecco they thrill audiences  everywhere.  Both of them born in the UK but now happily living in New Zealand. Here are just some of their favourite reviews \n“I want to be like them when I grow up”  from an admiring young female musician (anonymous) \n“They brought the house down with their voices\, music\,  fun and laughter”  The Observer \n“Listening to them made me cry– in a good way. Go see them if you can “ Sydney Herald \n“Soft and peachy”   The Guardian  \n“Slightly bonkers but jeez they can make music”  Mojo \n“Superb voices and musicianship with a great sense of fun included”  Evening Standard

SUMMARY:We Mavericks... Cancelled due to Health Issues & not able to fly from OZ
DESCRIPTION:We Mavericks pack punches but bring songs to heal the scars.\n Lindsay Martin’s masterful strings and vocals meet Victoria Vigenser’s magnificent voice\, in driving rhythms and a connection you have to hear to believe. This captivating trans-tasman duo brings music that strangely sounds like more than the sum of its parts.\n\nJoining them this September are two powerhouses of folk.\nZena Armstrong with her grounding percussion or soaring whistles and Peter Logue with his particularly sensitive accordion accompaniment. This exclusive lineup is not to be missed. With echoes of soulful Americana and Celtic roots in the gritty\, evocative material\, it’s award-winning musicianship wrapped in a trademark tightness.\n\nWe Mavericks have already made a bold mark in folk circles worldwide\, recently showcasing at Folk Alliance International\, being nominated “Best Folk Artist” in the 2022 Aotearoa (NZ) Music Awards\, nominated Australian Folk Music Awards “Artists of the Year\, Best Duo/Group/Ensemble” 2021 and receiving the 2020 Troubadour Foundation Award. Now touring the duo’s debut “Grief’s a Gardener”\, they bring connected and grounding original songs in the sort of show that can melt even the hardest of hearts.\n\nTICKETS at   https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/2022/we-mavericks-griefs-gardener-tour/nelson
