SUMMARY:Lake South: The Light You Throw. album release tour
DESCRIPTION:Home Alone Music is proud to present ‘The light you throw’ – the third album from Te Whanganui-a-Tara based electricUTOPIA songwriter Lake South. Slated for release on September 17\, the album was written in the midst of Aotearoa’s Level-4 lockdown ( that;s the 2020 one) and recorded at a rented house in Waikawa beach. From the anxiety of the pandemic comes a record full of hope\, joy and defiance. Expertly crafted odes to friends\, the cities they live in\, and the futures they strive for.\nThese are songs to be experienced live and Lake South has the band to make them pop. Theo Sekeris (Ras Judah\, Rubita) is on bass\, Eddie Crawshaw (Sheep Dog & Wolf\, Bonaparte) hits rhythm\, and Penelope Esplin (French for Rabbits\, Grawlixes) adds beatific harmonies and synths.\nThis collection follows 2017’s ‘If You’re Born On An Island the Ocean Heals You’ and the follow-up\, ‘Wellington | Te Upoko O Te Ika’\, in late 2019. Both records have been critically acclaimed with Graham Reid calling Lake an electro-folk postcard poet of his doubting generation. \nPraise for Lake South’s previous work:\n“A titanic talent” – The Revue.ca\n“It’s a ripper!” – Grant Smithies\n“Earnest and acutely observed nostalgia turns into uplifting anthems time and again” – Alex Behan (Sunday Star Times)\n“Gorgeous pop gems…deft\, heartfelt\, funny.” – NZ Musician Magazine \nLISTEN \nTickets @ undertheradar

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.

SUMMARY:Komorebi Creative Arts -  Express Yourself
DESCRIPTION:Express Yourself (Taster) \nCome along and have a go at expressing yourself through the creative arts with a small group of women in The Sanctuary at the beautiful historical Fairfield House. This is a free session and a great way to explore the creative arts including the visual arts\, nature-based arts and creative writing/poetry. No artistic ability is required and a judgement-free zone will be fostered. The emphasis is on the process rather than the outcome.\n The intention is to create a safe space within a morning of spaciousness where the invitation is to connect to the creative arts and with one another.\nHerbal tea will be served during a pause to allow time to absorb all that has unfolded.  \nThe group will be facilitated by registered and qualified creative arts therapist Lynda Jessen-Tye. \nThere are 10 spaces available.\n Email Lynda at komorebicreativearts@gmail.com  to fill in a short enrolment form.\nFor information about the mahi that Lynda does see Komorebi Creative Arts on Facebook or Instagram.
