SUMMARY:MARK LAURENT & BRENDA LIDDIARD
DESCRIPTION:The 33rd Anniversary Tour – For more than three decades Mark Laurent and Brenda Liddiard have been playing music together\, part of that secret army of ‘indie’ musicians who fly just below the commercial radar\, playing grass-roots\, mostly un-pluggedmusic throughout New Zealand\, Australia and the UK. \nThis Spring will see them entertaining audiences from Raglan to Invercargill on their 33 rd Anniversary Tour. \nMark Laurent plays the blues like his life depends on it! His guitar is just about as expressive as his vocals and confirms the guitar hero status that he earned several decades ago when his professional music career kicked off in the 1970s. \nHis wife and performance partner Brenda Liddiard has a voice born of true folk\, protest and alt country sentiments. Brenda has been greatly influenced by English and American acoustic music and found her niche as a songwriter during her passionate involvement with environmental and anti-nuclear issues dating from the 70s and 80s. Her album\, Box of Memories\, was a finalist in the 2013 Tui Awards for Best Folk Album. \nLaurent and Liddiard together present an eclectic mix of material that can be ‘pin drop’ delicate\, or sound like a full band! They sometimes pepper their sets with short bursts of poetry and stories of a road well traveled. \nDOOR SALES ONLY – $20 waged\, $15 unwaged \nMark Laurent Reviews \n \nhttp://www.brendaliddiard.co.nz

SUMMARY:Jon Sanders NZ Tenalach tour 2023
DESCRIPTION:NZ/Ireland based guitar bouzouki uke player Jon Sanders returns in October with a free flowing nufolk music band featuring accordion\, clarinet and singing in a show called Tenalach. \nTenalach is an old Irish term which describes a state of deep connection with the land\, water and air that allows us to hear the earth sing. The music was written over the last 4 years and inspired by this synergy as felt in west Kerry\, Ireland and in the two islands of Aotearoa. Helping to create these soundscapes will be his daughter Jenny OS who sings and heralds from west Kerry\, Hannah Wiskari Griffiths on clarinet/sax (who set up the NZ branch of the Ethno world music project) and Sophia Bidwell from Christchurch on piano accordion. Sophia is a prolific session player and music teacher in Canterbury and beyond. The compositions represent an invitation to reconnect with nature on a deeper level\, in a world increasingly controlled by technologies and their limited binary outcome. \nAlready recognised for his “ deeply meditative\, impishly playful\, quantum leaping” style\,  Jon says these soundscapes and original songs deal with the aspects of contemporary life which are clearly mirrored in the balance of natural ecosystems. “This is an invocation to spend time in the natural environment\, away from the digital machine and to connect on a deeper non- intrusive level”\,  he says. \nTickets $20 – available by clicking here or on the door. \nMore details from \njonsanders6@yahoo.com \nwww.jon-sanders.com \nSpotify – Jon Sanders \nFacebook Jon Sanders Music
